Chicago: Standard Map Co., 1915. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Folio (40 cm), pp. 38. Black cloth with burgundy quarter leather. Colored, engraved maps of each Township (as well as the entire County and the State of Michigan) showing ownership of each plot of land greater than 20 acres. Each township has an accompanying chart of names of farmers, acreage owned, and notes on crops and livestock raised. These pages also have numerous advertisements for local businesses. At the top of each Township map, in neat pencil handwriting, is the name of the Township Supervisor in 1927. Boards are partly detached, with edge wear and rubbing, and pages show heavy soiling and foxing, though most map areas are in very good condition. The Michigan map has a couple of small holes at the border of the map, not affecting the land area.
