Property Info

My mother collected information about a farm house we used to own. I think I've found a list of the previous owners dating way back to the 1700 or 1800's. Today I just found a couple of prints. One page gives the Population By Counties and Townships from 1830-1870.

Why would she collect this information?

The other two pages show maps of the townships. All appear to be reproductions from a microfish.

Why would she have these? Is this just more information that tells the story of the house in it's earlier period or is there something else it's telling me about the property?

Any ideas?

Lots of people when doing their genealogy like to put their ancestors "in context" and learn more about the history of the town, or state. Sounds as if she was a bit of a history buff.
