Summary of Records
Scope and Content
Arrangement
For records created from 1862 to 1945, arrangement is by community and thereunder by plat and block, with entries being carried forward on the next available page..
The recorder arranged entries in Abstract Book A by community, and thereunder by plat and block. Abstract Book A includes plats A-E of the Saint George survey, followed by the Hurricane Field Survey, Central town site survey, plats A-B of the Hurricane town site survey, then the Santa Clara town site survey. Thereunder, abstracts for each block were initially chronologically arranged, but as the recorder ran out of space on various pages and carried entries forward to available space elsewhere, Abstract Book A became progressively more unorganized. In Abstract Book A 1 the recorder carried entries forward in three sections: Saint George, Hurricane and Santa Clara. Ca. 1945, she began a new book, Abstracts: Saint George, in which she carried forward all abstract records for Saint George arranging them numerically by plat and block. She carried entries forward for Hurricane and Santa Clara in Abstracts: Towns.
