Nauvoo and Missouri Election results

[Logan Bolan]

Hi,

Does anyone have any idea where to find even an old map or shapefile of Nauvoo's electoral precincts? It would be helpful if there was a voter's dataset showing the elections that led to the expulsion. I can make my own maps, but I need datasets I can make.

Thanks,

Logan

Hi Logan,

I’ll pass your question on to a couple of people who worked on the Joseph Smith Papers project here at the Church History Library, they might know.

Best,

Michelle

Hi Logan,

I was sent this link to JSP maps, including a map of Nauvoo political wards:

https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/media/maps

https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/bc-jsp/content/jsp/images/content/library/pdf/J3_Map6_Nauvoo-Political-1843-1844.pdf

I hope these are at least helpful on the map front. I'm still chasing down whether we have any other useful data.

Best,

Michelle

Hi Logan,

Follow-up, I was directed to this folder in the Church History Catalog: https://catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/record/1123b08c-5724-4210-b51f-c2d9ff09b652/eaafc928-470a-4cd5-9fb9-8ed21b49ecb0?view=browse&lang=eng 

It is digitized, I hope there is some helpful stuff for you in there. They are currently in the process of being transcribed and will be on the JSP website next year, for now I'm afraid you'll have to wade through it yourself.

Best,

Michelle
