Atlas of Orange County 1875Entry/Object ID
chs-000251Description
Published in 1875 by the Chicago firm Andreas, Baskin & Burr, the Atlas of Orange County, New York, remains a definitive historical record surveyed under the direction of F.W. Beers. This large-folio volume, measuring approximately 14x17 inches, features 157 pages of vibrant, hand-colored lithographed maps and detailed woodcut illustrations of period residences and farms.
Beyond its visual appeal, the atlas serves as a vital primary source for historians and genealogists. By documenting specific landowner names, properties, and locations of 19th-century infrastructure—including schools, churches, railroads, and industrial sites—it provides a precise spatial snapshot of the county’s Victorian-era development.Collection
