Did you know the Fresno County Public Library holds five atlases, dating from 1891 to circa 1940, that segment Fresno County by township and range, illustrating... individual parcels and labeling them with the owners' names? Whether you suspect your house is haunted and you want to narrow down the identity of your ghost guest; you're tracing an ancestor; or you'd just like to see how Fresno County has evolved over time (who or what was where and when), click here to access digitized versions of these historic property atlases: http://www.oac.cdlib.org/finda/ark:/13030/kt5z09q99q/admin/ #ThrowbackThursday
