Hey Lady Di, welcome to T'Net.

Try http://www.davidrumsey.com/
I have found a lot of things on their maps. For some reason I'm having trouble looking at the maps today. The IT guys have been futzing with things around here for the last few days so I don't know which end the problem is on.

Lady Di, It is a long shot, but try the BLM GLO RECORDS. and do a Survey Search of all your areas nearabouts. The surveys are "Originals", very early, and some will have homesites, fields,trees and ponds sometimes drawn in by the Surveyor. I have also seen where a couple of "Indian Villages " were also included by the Surveyor. It is a stretch, but surely worth a look. HH Cass

most vilages are located on hills near large creeks close to the mouth where it meets the rivers .
