This map has been removed from a incomplete copy of Beers' 1868 Atlas of the State of Delaware (page 27), which contains "actual surveys by and under the direction of D.G. Beers." Daniel G.

Beers and his family produced detailed maps of many Northeastern states, cities, and counties until the 1880s, when the United States began to systematize mapping practices, and mapmaking moved out of private publication (Mano, Jo Margaret). Engraved by Worley & Bracher of Philadelphia and printed by Fred Bourquin. All maps in color. Small stain along bottom. Price: $ 95.00
