"Superior Reference Atlas Wisconsin and the World", Cram, George F. & Company

This is the original version of Cram's Superior Reference Atlas of Wisconsin which was greatly expanded and improved in 1908. It is one of a series of atlases published early in the 20th century by the Cram company that highlights an individual state, and contains 19 double-page and 7 single-page maps of U.S. states, territories and the rest of the world. At the back of the volume are 4 maps and 10 pages of text directly related to Wisconsin. Of particular interest is the huge (32 x 42") boldly colored folding map of the state that is attached to the rear of the volume, showing county boundaries, railroads, cities and towns, post offices, and more. Includes a double-page city of Milwaukee. 64 pages, hardbound in original cream cloth boards with black pictorial front cover title and illustration.
