Re: Seeking location for Harvey Anway near Florissant ca 1869?-1880
You should first do a search of the land patent records at http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ You will see that there are two listings for Harvey Anway. He owned land in Sections 31, 32 and 33, 320 acres in all. In Block #33 his land was in both Teller and Park County.
Then go to website http://www.esg.montana.edu/gl/trs-data.html
Put in the following information
Drag down menu to show Colorado, Sixth Principal Media
Township 12
Drag Down menu to show South
Range 71
Drag down menu to show West
Section 31
SUBMIT
This will give you information of the area as well as places nearby. The closest nearby place is the Riverside Campground to help you locate Block 31.
In the third paragraph, look for the blue letters that says Switch to Terra Server. Click on those words. Then click on the Topo Map in the upper right hand corner. You will see the block #31 about in the middle. That is Harvey's land section. Blocks 32 and 33 are to the right of this block. A section is 640 acres, he had 160, or 1/4th of the section of block 31 in the Northeast corner. If you click the "in" button to zoom in you will see the names of nearby places. You will see the words Pumping Station in this area of Harvey's land.

I hope this helps you to locate the area that he ownes.
