Looking for a detailed map of Angelbeck

Hello Oldenburg-l friends!

Maybe someone can help me. I am searching for a detailed map of the
Loningen area, particularly one that includes Angelbeck to the south,
prior to 1850. My Laker ancestors had a farm in Angelbeck for many
years before coming to America, and I am hoping to find its exact
location through a map that lists the farm names or house numbers. I
have seen maps like this for other areas. Does anyone know of such a
map, or can someone tell me who I could contact that might know?

Feel free to forward this post to any relevant lists or persons.

Many thanks,
Andrew Laker

Andrew,
there are many such maps at the archives in Oldenburg but unless the
Lakers were landowners instead of Heuerleute (tenant farmers) there
would be no record going back for them. Most of the emigrants left
because they didn't have their own land but farmed someone else's
plot. I don't have access to my books right now to see if there are
old Laker farms around Löningen but Werner or someone else would
surely know.
