Edit to add more info.
Further to add: Ancestry has some land records. Alfred bought 2 Mar 1853 the NW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 23, and the SW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 13. You should be able to find online maps showing exactly where those parcels lie. I think the term is cadastral survey, but memory could fail. County plat maps still use the same system, and the County Assessor's office probably lists the current ownership and use.
