An Illustrated Atlas of Cecil County, Maryland
Philadelphia: Lake, Griffing & Stevenson, 1877. First Edition. Large folio, publisher's original leather over gilt-lettered black cloth-covered boards. Profusely illustrated throughout. A detailed nineteenth-century county atlas of Cecil County, Maryland, published in Philadelphia by Lake, Griffing & Stevenson in 1877. Illustrated with hand-colored lithographed maps, the atlas records towns, villages, election districts, roads, railroads, waterways, property boundaries, farms, residences, businesses, churches, schools, and individual landowners throughout Cecil County. Such county atlases are important primary sources for the study of Maryland history, genealogy, local history, land ownership, real estate development, transportation, architecture, and post-Civil War settlement patterns. The identification of property owners and local landmarks makes the volume particularly useful for genealogical and historical research, while its large-format maps preserve a detailed visual record of late nineteenth-century Cecil County and the broader Chesapeake region.
