1862 Montgomery Farm Map
This map shows outlines of farms and names their owners. Many of these farms are unchanged from their original layout and are often occupied by descendants of the original settler. One original copy of this map hangs in the Montgomery Town Hall. Others copies exist, but none are known to be digitized. The linked image is from the Montgomery Town Hall map and is four i-phone images stitched together. Stay tune to this site for more professional images of this map.

1798 Montgomery Map
This map shows major roads, homes of notable residents, and churches in the newly named Town of Montgomery. It can be downloaded as a very large tiff file from the New York State Archives. This link is to a lower resolution map (which is still very high resolution by most standards) and is much more usable in jpeg format. The map has also been rotated with north pointing up.

Parcel Map of NE Town of Montgomery with boundaries of early patents
Orange County maintains a very useful on-line Geographic Information System map which includes boundaries of current land parcels in the county. As would be expected, historic patent lines are preserved over time as large patents are subdivided. The linked map is a composite of the area of Montgomery that contains the Wileman, Brasier, Alexander, Nicholls, and Kennedy patents. The patent lines are plotted based on early surveys and existing parcel lines. The map is very useful in plotting surveys in early deeds. The lands of the Campbells, Barkleys, Haines, Hill, Milliken, and other have been successfully matched to existing parcel lines using this map. If you desire a copy of this map without all of the explanatory text, please contact the author.
