M. Hopkins issued his Atlas of the City of St. Louis, Missouri, From Official Records, Private Plans and Actual Surveys — a monumental ward-by-ward property atlas of the entire city. This edition is an unabridged, full-color facsimile reproduced from the archival scans of the copy at the State Historical Society of Missouri: the double-page Plate of Index showing the city's wards, railroads, and stations, followed by all forty-four plates, complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery plate maps St. Louis at the property level: owners' names lettered on their parcels, building footprints drawn in place, block and lot numbers throughout — street by street from the Mississippi riverfront across every ward of the city. For St. Louis research this is the essential building-level record of the city before Sanborn fire insurance coverage begins in the 1890s, drawn seven years after Compton \u0026amp; Dry's Pictorial St. Louis and five years after Pitzman's atlas of the city and county — the third pillar of the Gilded Age St. Louis map shelf. Whoever owned the ground your house stands on in 1883, this atlas names them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential reference for genealogists, house historians, and collectors of St. Louis history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e92 pages. 8.5\" x 11\".
