? Atlas of Historical County Boundaries series (Charles Scribner’s Sons)

? Delorme Atlas and Gazetteer series (DeLorme)

? Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses, 1790-1920 by William Thorndale and William Dollarhide (Genealogical Publishing Co.)

? The Phillimore Atlas and Index of Parish Registers, 3rd edition, edited by Cecil R. Humphery-Smith (Phillimore & Co.)

? Rand McNally Commercial Atlas & Marketing Guide series (Rand McNall)
