The Musquiz Grant land divided into areas of interest
The Process pages describe some of the techniques, tools, and sources used to research the land transactions of Thomas Haynes and his descendants. They range from a discussion of how land ownership is tracked in Texas, to the use of Google Maps, to the use of metes and bounds to describe property boundaries, to the Mexican units of land measure used in early Texas, and on to the use of historic maps provided by the Texas General Land Office.
