Description
This is an interesting atlas of Dutchess and Westchester Counties in New York, highlighting the numerous quaint towns and villages easily accessible from the city. A folding map of New York and vicinity and plan of Brooklyn are followed by 36 additional maps which show details on homestead ownership, transportation routes, and basic topographic information. The single page and fold out maps range in scale depending on the area depicted.
Also included are numerous pages of lithographed views of the properties of atlas patrons and an extensive “Table of Air-Line Distances” that shows mileage as the crow flies between various locations, long before the concept of air travel. Published in New York by F.W. Beers, A.D. Ellis and G.G. Soule, with credit also given to George Warner.
