Excerpt from Rand, McNally and Co. 'S New Pocket Atlas: Containing Colored County Maps of All States and Territories in the United States, and the Provinces of the Dominion of Canada A separate Map, either single or double page, accompanied by one or two pages of reading matter, is devoted to each State and Territory in the United States, and to each Province of the Dominion of Canada. The maps are colored by counties, and, while perfectly clear and legible, show a wonderful amount of detail. They are revised up to the date of issue, and show every railroad in Operation and all towns of any importance, the county seats being designated by special heavy-faced type. The reading matter is so arranged under sub-heads as to make it easy to locate. At a glance, any particular subject. It contains a brief historical sketch; all important data regarding area and population, physical and climatic features, and the principal cities; statistics pertaining to agricultural and mineral resources, the manufactures, com merce, trade, and transportation; a review of the educational system, the most important State institutions, and, finally, a synopsis of the principal constitutional and legal features. To all this is added an alphabetical list of the counties with their area and population, and so indexed that any county can readily be located on the respective map.
