Article description

From Beers's celebrated county atlas — an irreplaceable primary record of 19th-century Hudson Valley topography. Frederick William Beers (1839–1933) was an American cartographer and publisher best known for his detailed county and regional atlases of New York State. Working from Manhattan, Beers published his Atlas of New York and Vicinity in 1867 (in collaboration with A.D. Ellis and G.G. Soule), containing 61 lithographed maps of Westchester, Dutchess, and Putnam counties and their towns. He is credited with personally surveying every county in New York State and later extended his work to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Connecticut, and Vermont. Beers's atlas maps of the Hudson Valley constitute an irreplaceable primary record of mid-19th-century settlement, property ownership, and local topography — prized both by local historians and by collectors of American county atlases.
