1875 Coolbaugh Twp Map
1875 Coolbaugh Township Map — Reproduced from the “County Atlas of Monroe, Pennsylvania,“ F.W. Beers & Co., New York, 1875. Black and white, 23 inches x 18 inches. Unframed.
Map of Coolbaugh Township
One of 23 vintage local maps reproduced from the 1875 Beers Atlas publication “County Atlas of Monroe Pennsylvania,” subtitled “From actual Surveys by and under the Direction of F.W. Beers.”
County atlases were very popular in the latter half of the 19th and early 20th century. They showed property ownership, which usually included the individual's name and often the footprint of their house. Not only are these county atlases aesthetically pleasing today, but they are an important source of information for historians and genealogists. County atlases show the development of communities in new streets, railroads, the realignment of waterways, and the trend from residential to commercial districts.
