The Zone 1-11 Atlas is a complete set of 1876 Illinois county maps. Each Zone consists of a series of 9 or more bordering county maps making up all 102 Illinois counties. Each Zone Atlas contains high resolution scanned images of vintage 19th century county maps that are presented in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).
Each map may include the following 19th century features:
- roads, railroads and canals
- cities, towns and villages
- post offices and government sites
- one-room schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries
- rivers, streams and ferries
- racetracks, fairgrounds and picnic groves
- industrial sites, furnaces and mills
- early homesteads and farms (occasional)
- and much, much more
The Historic Atlas of Illinois series is an invaluable aid to Genealogists, Historians and researchers in search of 19th century Illinois places.

The Adobe Acrobat Reader for MS Windows is needed to view, zoom, pan and print from the PDF map images contained in this atlas; and is included free on each CD.
No other software is necessary. The map data has been created and configured using the latest version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader (6.0) for MS Windows (98, 98SE, XP, NT and 2000). The maps may be viewed in earlier versions of the software as well; however, optimum use of the data can be expected using the Adobe Reader 6.0 that is included on this CD.
