Each map is followed by full-page and half-page illustrations of important farms, businesses, and prominent citizens making the atlas an overall excellent historical record. The atlas is completed by a history of the county, sketch of “prominent men and pioneers", and local advertisements. 139 pages.

Binding is heavily worn and chipped, and both boards are nearly detached.
