Please excuse cross-postings

The 1868 Atlas of the State of Ohio is now available for purchase
online.  A complete description can be viewed at the following address:

This is a departure from our other Midwestern Atlas CD's in that it is
more like an e-book than a simple series of maps.  There is quite a bit
of statistical data in this atlas including sections on: Agriculture,
Canals, Climate Map, Climatology, Colleges, County Evolution, Land
Grants of Ohio, Geological Map, Geology, History, Schools and
Seminaries, Post Offices, Railways, Statistics and Surveys of Ohio.

Multiple adjacent county maps are useful for identifying 1868
transportation routes, railroads, canals and early Ohio place names.
The 25 city maps in the Atlas are much more detailed with many early
government and industrial sites including: a variety of mills,
cemeteries, churches, schools, asylums, fair grounds, race tracks,
business locations, etc.

The original 68-page atlas has been scanned at 400 dpi and is presented
in Adobe PDF format.  Customized maps and selections of text may be
easily accessed and copied for use in research, project reports, etc.
This CD provides a digital snapshot of mid nineteenth century Ohio
useful to anyone conducting research during this period of Ohio's history.

Thanks for looking.
