Fellow researchers, historians and genealogists,

We have recently added the 1873 Atlas of the State of Michigan to our
growing collection of Midwestern digital historic atlases.  This
abridged atlas consists of 124 pages of statistical data, a gazetteer of
places, railroad stations, post offices, landings, lakes, rivers,
islands, cities, towns and villages, and maps of all Michigan counties.



The county maps in this Atlas are useful for identifying 1873 railroads
and railroad stations, canals, streams and rivers, cities, towns and
villages, post offices and early Michigan place names.  A number of
thematic maps depicting political boundaries of this period are also
included.  There are also two detailed city maps in the Atlas: Grand
Rapids and Detroit.


Bonus maps are included for railroad and early transportation buffs: (6)
high resolution scanned images of Michigan railways dating from
1848-1886 included on each CD.



This is an excellent 1873 time capsule with a wealth of information
useful to anyone interested in studying this period of Michigan’s history.

This and other maps and atlases are available for purchase online:
