Notes
  • The privately-produced county atlas is an American phenomenon. Since the appearance of the first of these volumes about a century ago, well over four thousand different atlases and plate books of United States counties have been published by private companies and individuals. County atlases and plate books are considered together in this study since there are essential similarities between these two cartographic products; the terms are used interchangeably by some publishers. The core of both the county atlas and the county plate book usually consists of cadastral maps of each civil township in a particular county. Roads and railroads in addition to property lines, the names of property owners and areas of individual land holdings commonly appear on the maps. Although this is usually the basic information contained in county atlases and plate books, depending- upon the publisher and the date of publication, there is a great deal of variation in the format.
