Microfilmed records consist of survey maps and field books. Flat maps of land tracts and parcels (ca. 1800-1965) include many copies or tracings of nineteenth century maps. Surveyor's field books (some of them undated) contain courses and distances, elevations, sketches, notes, and other survey data. Indexes to surveys were also microfilmed.

This series consists of ten field books documenting surveys for proposed state roads. Two of the field books contain data on a state road from Lake Erie to the Hudson River that was proposed and surveyed, but never built. It is unknown whether the other field books refer to any roads that were actually built. The notes very occasionally include brief descriptions of soil conditions, terrain, and establishments on route.
