nalTibraRyfacil SRLP UC SOUTHERN REGIONAL LIBRARY FACILITY AA 001 189116 5 //// CmcuLAE, No. 484. Yl ^^^ is 1954 1 ■J&t VACANT PUBLIC LANDS ON JULY 1, 1916. Department of the Interior, liiENERAL Land Office, V/asMngton, D. C, July 1, 1916. The following tables show, by States, land districts, and counties, the area of unappropriated and unreserved public lands, STirveyed and unsurveyed, with a brief statement of their character. These figures are as nearly correct as is possible under the circum- stances, and are mainly intended to convey general information as to the quantity and character of public lands in the land districts and counties of the different States. The General Land Office can furnish no more definite information as to the location or character of the vacant lands than is here given. Neither the General Land Office nor the local offices can advise inquirers as to the location of the unappropriated tracts in counties where only a few acres are reported as vacant. InfoiTaation on that subject may be obtained by a careful examination of the records of the local offices, which are open for inspection when not in official use. A diagram of any township, showing the entered lands thereio, may be obtained from the register and receiver of the proper local office at a cost of $1; in ordering such a diagram the township and range numbers should be given. If because of the pressure of current business relating to the entry of lands registers and receivers are unable to make the plats or dia- grams mentioned above, they may refuse to furnish the same and return the fee to the applicant, advising him of their reason for not furnishing the plats requested; that he may make the plats or dia- grams himseK or have same made by his agent or attorney; and that he may have access to the plats and tract books of the local land office for this purpose, provided such use of the records will not intor- fere with the orderly dispatch of the public business. The local officers furnish prospective settlers general advice as to lands in their respective districts and literature regarding the method of making entry. However, personal inspection must be made of the tract to be entered before application is filed, and the settler should exercise great care to satisfy himseK as to its character before taking any other step. 55075°— 16 1 i VACANT PUBLIC LANDS ON JULY 1^ 1916.
