Statistical Atlas 1870 geo map[Geological map of the U.S. from the 1870 U.S. Statistical Atlas, here.]

Even though I have used (and owned) these atlases over a long time I’ve never collected them together in any of the 2600+ entries (2036 longer posts and 500+ Quick Posts)  that I have made to this blog.  So today I include links for the atlases in their entirety, as found on the sumptuous site of the Library of Congress. The books are interesting, fascinating, captivating, and beautiful.
