RECREATING THE ORIGINAL PROPERTIES OF BERKS COUNTY
The original land warrantee maps show information about the first surveys and the property owners of what is now Berks County, PA. A problem for any researcher is determining exactly where these first properties actually were. The original tract boundaries are being recreated and made viewable in Google Maps. You can see them HERE. If you are not familiar with the maps, there is a link in the resources section on this page which shows all of the available warrantee maps for the entire state of Pennsylvania.
