This county atlas consists of historical text, township and town maps, portraits, views, and patron's directory. In some of the county atlases of the time, all of the names of rural residents were marked on their properties. This is one of those atlases -- all of the farm lots/acreages have the names of the landholders printed on the maps of their respective townships. Those who had the means and/or an interest, paid an fee to the original publisher to have biographical sketches, portraits, and/or artistic renderings of their properties or businesses included in the atlas.
This premium quality reprint of the original atlas has been printed in a limited edition.
Contents include:
Every Lincoln and Welland Township of 1876 is represented with a detailed map outlining the farm lots, rivers, creeks, roads, towns and villages. Landholders names are printed on their specific properties on each township map.
