Atlas of Bartholomew County, Indiana published by one of the most prolific creators of county atlases in the United States.
Description
The Chicago firm of J.H. Beers & Co. published numerous state and county atlases in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Printing and publishing was done in-house, while much of the survey work, writing, and engraving was outsourced to subcontractors to keep overall costs down.
This is a lovely example of the company’s work, showing the township and village plats comprising Bartholomew County, Indiana. Land owners are identified by name, along with the acreage of the plot in question. Also included is an outline map of the county, double sheet city plan of Columbus and numerous engravings of important buildings and prominent businesses.
