How to Get Government Land and Local Notices
The General Land Office in Washington does not provide maps or full land descriptions for vacant public lands. Seek out local district land offices to obtain diagrams and records, inspect township and range plots, and request circulars on homestead and desert land entry. Also included are notes on sweet potatoes, beans, dodder in Imperial Valley, a small strike at Santa Ana sugar factory, and Rialto Orange growers’ payments.
