Pages: 164 Pub. Date: (1876-1925) 2007

This collection contains these three rare atlases: o Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Wayne, Michigan (1876) o Detailed Official Atlas of Wayne, County, Michigan (1893) o McAlpine's Farm Atlas of Wayne County (1925) This collection of three old land-ownership atlases of Wayne County, Michigan offers researchers valuable records of Detroit and the nearby areas starting in the 1870's and extending nearly 50 years. Among more than 100 hand-painted color maps and hand-drawn plates, researchers will find detailed county, township, and city maps, as well as township histories, biographical sketches, and drawings of the homes of dozens of prominent citizens. Most importantly, the vast majority of map properties are annotated with the acreage and name of the landowner. In the 1876 atlas, for instance, 80 acres in the Northwest corner of Dearborn county were owned by one "R. Wight." By 1893, that property had been divided and was owned by "H. Wight" (50 acres) and "E. L. Wight" (30 acres). By 1925, those properties maintained their earlier boundaries but had been passed to "J. Affeldt" and "Bemis Stanford," respectively. Experienced researchers look to such land records for valuable clues to piece together family histories. The earliest atlas in this set (1876) also includes a list of more than 1500 residents (patrons of the atlas), along with their location, occupation, place of birth, and year of settlement in the county. These atlases were digitized and made available by Archive CD Books USA in cooperation with the Plymouth Historical Museum of Plymouth, Michigan (www.PlymouthHistory.org).
