Augustus Mitchell Jr. took over, and the atlas would be called Mitchell's New General Atlas. This is an attractive single page map of the City of Detroit from the 1882 installment of this atlas. Stand-alone maps of Detroit are not that common in the Mitchell atlas series. Ristow 311-313. Phillips 907. (Inventory #: 106076)
