Atlas of Adams Co., Pennsylvania
I. W. Field & Co., 1872, 35 pages
This
publication is a historical Atlas of Adams County, PA reproduced in PDF
format on CD. Pennsylvania county atlases are expensive and
difficult to find, but here you can have the information at your
disposal for a fraction of the cost. These township maps provide
a detail of the township boundaries, towns, roads, and topography of
the county, including streams and mountains. They also show where
homes, churches, cemeteries and businesses were located. But the
most desirable quality of these maps is the notation of the County's
residents, providing a record of who owned land and where they
lived. Two other nice features of this atlas are located at the
end of the atlas. The first is a business directory of the
county, listing hundreds of the county's businesses. The
second is entitled: "Principal Professional and Business Men and
Producers of Adams County, PA." It is a list of farmers with a
notation for each of the amount of acres they farmed, what type of
produce they grew, and the year they settled in the county.
