Clifton Aylor and others, and Thirty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred (37,400) Acres of Land, more or less, in Rappahannock County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Rappahannock County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.

Miller for the partition of the John J Estate was by the order of the court held in common and undivisable as necessary to pro- tect the best interests of said successor in title. 2nd: By proceedings had in this court alleged to . be under the authority of chapter 410, Acts 1928, the btate Com- mission on Conservation and Development is seeking to take by condemnation that portion of said tract as is in the County of /fa/ JO/> aA Sjnck Warron.
