Survey 358 of Sainte Genevieve & New Bourbon Series

It does not appear that field notes were made out specifically for Survey 358. Its dimensions, however, can easily be determined from the description of Block 15 (Survey 123) (go to description for Survey 123) and the adjoining surveys numbered 168 (go to description for Survey 168) and 169 (go to description for Survey 169).

Survey 358 is located in Block number fifteen of the Town of Sainte Genevieve in Township thirty eight, north of the base line, Range nine east of the fifth principal Meridian, in the State of Missouri. It being a vacant lot not claimed before Theodore Hunt, Recorder of Land Titles in the State of Missouri, under the provisions of the act of Congress of the twenty sixth of May eighteen hundred and twenty four, entitled: "an act supplementary to an act passed on the thirteenth day of June one thousand eight hundred and twelve, entitled: ' an act making further provision for settling the claims to land in the Territory of Missouri' ".


The lot may be more particularly described as follows:
