Statistical Atlas of the United States Based on the Results of
the Ninth Census 1870 In honor of our data mapping site, GEOFRED
(http://geofred.stlouisfed.org), we have posted a very old data
mapping product. Featuring thematic maps, the Statistical Atlas
was a landmark publication of the federal government. It
displays census information about the United States using
choropleth mapping (thematic mapping), a technique common with
modern GIS systems. The maps highlight the condition of the
country immediately following the Civil War. This file was
originally downloaded from the Library of Congress as JPG2000
and converted into a compressed pdf, for ease of use. For a
historical account of the first national atlas of the United
States, please see Donald Dahman's description at the Library of
Congress' American Memory website. Woodlands and Forest Systems
