The maps are augmented by numerous full page illustrations showing some of the well-to-do residences in the county. Published in Philadelphia by Titus, Simmons & Titus.

The maps are very good to near fine with occasional minor foxing, light toning, and a couple of minor fold separations that are confined to the blank margins. A few of the maps have pencil notations mostly in the margins, and the folding map of Ohio has a 1.5" separation at the fold intersection. Ex-library label on front end paper. The binding is somewhat loose, the hinges are starting, and there is moderate wear to the spine.
