I have an original of this map (The New England/Commercial and Route Survey/Showing all Postoffices,Railroads, Electric Roads)which is canvas & folds into a booklet. What would the value of this map be? I would like to know more about how I should store it & who might be interested in purchasing it. Thank you for your time, Tami Gilson

There are 4 atlases of Erie County starting in 1866. To view these atlases go to Browse New York. All the atlases are in alphabetical order.

Mt. Monadnock is spelled incorrectly - its MoNadnock, not MoMadnock

Thank you for pointing this out and we have made the change.

This map was printed ca. 1930. In 1900 Olmos Park, which is shown, didn exist. But a main keys are, an arrow is shown "to Randolph Aviation Field". Since airplanes didn exist in 1900, it is unlikely Randolph did either. (dedicated in 1930). The new river channel cut downtown completed about 1929 as was an extension of Hildebrandt Ave. They are shown. Aside, I have this map in my collection. If you got this from the state of Texas, it is shown by the state incorrectly.

Thank you for pointing this out and I have made the change in the name field
