Notes: This is from the first atlas produced of the state of Delaware. The Atlas of Delaware was published in Philadelphia by Pomeroy & Beers in the year 1868. The maps in this atlas are some of the most desirable antique maps of Delaware obtainable. It contains "actual surveys by and under the direction of D.G. Beers." Daniel G. Beers came from a family of atlas publishers. He and his brother Silas operated in Philadelphia, the center of atlas publication in the United States, until he moved to New York City in 1868. Beers and his family produced detailed maps of many states, cities, and counties until the 1880s, when the United States began to systematize mapping practices, and mapmaking moved out of private publication.
