How Southwestern Settlement and Development Corporation Assembled and Conveyed Jasper County Tracts (1916-07-14)

The Jasper County grantor index records Southwestern Settlement and Development Corporation conveying interests out of Hundreds of East Texas & Gulf Coast LNG Feeder Corridor Surveys (348+ Recorded Deeds in Jasper & Newton Counties) (Deed Records Vol. 22, Page 301 (1920-10-23), Vol. 55, Page 69 (1937-06-01) & Vol. 62, Page 272 (1940-08-27)) while embedding specific tract calls across Hundreds of East Texas & Gulf Coast LNG Feeder Corridor Surveys (348+ Recorded Deeds in Jasper & Newton Counties). Because East Texas lumber mill townsites and cutover land colonization relied on private corporate surveying, these recorded deeds serve as primary cartographic evidence for Jasper County land historians and surveyors.
