The volume opens with the surveyor's report on a city of 110,000 people and a key map of the whole survey, then covers the heart of St. Paul in twenty-five double-page sheets: the Lowertown warehouses and the Union Depot, the wholesale blocks along Third and Fourth Streets, the State Capitol, the railway yards along the Mississippi, Dayton's Bluff and the additions of the East Side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is an unabridged facsimile republication of Volume One of the 1885 St. Paul survey, reproduced complete and in full color from the copy held by the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress: the report and index, the key map and all twenty-five numbered sheets, each double-page plate laid out as a two-page spread.
