All of the 1878 Wisconsin county maps are included on this CD, as are 106 city and village plat maps from this period. Unlike many digital reproductions created from aged and worn originals, these scans are crisp, clean and completely legible throughout. The excerpt example maps of Grant County (274K) and the Village of Lancaster (245K) plat are representative of the content and image quality found on this Atlas CD. These may be viewed by following these links: Grant Co.: http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/wi_map/wi_county.html Lancaster: http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/wi_map/wi_city.html Each atlas includes the following 19th century features: * roads, railroads and canals * cities, towns and villages * post offices and government sites * one-room schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries * rivers, streams and ferries * race tracks, fair grounds and picnic groves * industrial sites, furnaces and mills * early homesteads and farms -and much, much more The Historical Atlas of Wisconsin may be an invaluable aid to Genealogists, Historians and researchers in search of 19th century Wisconsin places and place names.
