Dakota Dirksens
1880 Brotherfield Plat Map
The order of recorded households in the 1880 census confirms the census taker's first route (green arrows) north along the Vermillion River to section 7 then south.
The wandering second route (red arrows) was followed by the census taker on a later second tour, after a break to record names in the nearby town of Marion Junction.
Section numbers link a 2001 sattelite view of that section. Names in red link the genealogical record of that person.
