These original
maps show each Township/Borough as it was in the latter 1800's with the boundary
lines, acreage, and the owner's name on most every property. Upon close examination,
one will locate all major structures: the main house and any barns, one-room schoolhouses,
grist and lumber mills and other establishments important to the 19th century
residents. Although
it is impossible to know exactly how many atlases Noll actually printed, given
the printing technology of the time and its' cost, it's reasonable to assume that
comparatively few atlases were in circulation. Since most of those were heavily
used and didn't survive, the result is that these atlases are very rare. Enjoy
these pieces of history. Please contact me with any questions. William
