A "land patent" is another word for deed (or grant) of real estate from a government (e.g., the U.S. federal government) and represents "absolute title" from the sovereign. It is a special form of letters patent, meaning open declaration (as opposed to private correspondence with the government).
Land patents are obtained as any other deed for real estate, with the only difference being that the grantor is the "original" owner of the land. Copies are recorded in the same manner as deeds, and older ones (such as carving states out of the Louisiana Purchase) can be found in the archives.
