Beschreibung

Single sheet of light paper, 27.5 x 24", printed on one side._____     Folded and mounted into 5.75 x 3.75" cloth covers titled in gilt._____   A beautiful example, as fresh from the printer._____ A plat map of this Luzerne County township, with color borders and owners identified._____ The compiler, James P. Weller, was county surveyor in Luzerne County from 1871 to 1874._____   He originally issued it in the form of the "Warrentee Atlas Of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, Showing The Original Purchases From The Commonwealth From 1755 To 1874._____Drawn By And Under The Direction Of J. P. Weller." (C. M. Cornwell, NY, 1874, 35pp.)._____  This was a bound atlas of maps of each of the 35 townships in the county._____  The LOC notes that the atlas was approximately 28" tall, so we assume those maps were not folded and probably on reasonably stout paper._____ Shortly thereafter Weller repackaged several (perhaps all) of the individual township maps into this pocket map format on light paper._____  They retained the original atlas page numbers at the upper right, in this case #9._____ Not in WorldCat (09/23).____.
