Condition/Description:
This map is in Very Good to Fine condition. There are no major flaws to the map. The paper does show a little age toning which is normal for paper this old.
How interesting how many of the street names changed. You still have Harriet and Day Streets. On the old map 4th, 5th, etc. had not yet been named evidently. Also with some of the names, it seems a few of the old buildings are still around as are many of the family names. How interesting that the Zink family had a brewery! And the tanneries, wagon makers, sash factory! This can be a great ancestry display piece.
This came from a large book: Atlas of Cattaraugus County, New York. From actual Surveys & Official Records Compiled & Published by D. G. Beers & Co..
This sale is only for the map, not the title page from the book.
This highly detailed map is over 140 years old! These types of maps are great references for locating the exact location of ancestors' homes and businesses.
