Alcatraz Island
Hello and welcome to the Record of the Week! Last week, the team traveled to Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay! Here, we learn about the island's history and look at a metes-and-bounds survey plat from the area! Many are familiar with Alcatraz as being a former U.S. Penitentiary, but the history of this island is far more complex. Can you guess why? Find out more in this GLO Record!
The GLO website provides live access to Federal land conveyance records for the Public Land States, including image access to more than 12 million federal land title records issued between 1788 and the present.
The site also hosts images of survey plats and field notes, land status records, and control document index records, and is one of the most visited websites in the Department of the Interior. Visit glorecords.blm.gov for more information.
