Backtracking a year, the Surveyor Generals Office of the United States certified the plats of Milan township on May 3, 1869 at the St Louis Office of the U.S. Recorder of Land Titles. Included were the notes providing descriptors and other identifying factors as well as plat maps for each township.
Below shows the 18 townships in existence in 1869 for DeKalb county, Illinois. Milan township can be found by locating R3E on the top and T39N on the right. Section 1, the location of the Browne school can be found by locating the furthest north and furthest east square of R3E and T39N.
Below is a list of details relating to each township. Details relating to Section 1 can be found in the 5th entry of column 2. Additional details are found in column 1 and the letters F, G, g and H and their corresponding letters in columns 3 and 4.
Below is a list of objects relating to each township. Milan township is found in column 3 at the top, T39 NR3 E of the 3rd p Mn. No details for Section 1 are listed.
Below is the certification dated May 3, 1869. I do not know why the certification occurred 26 years after the original survey.
