Better yet (in response to Joel Kovarsky's U.S. Statistical Atlas post),
for an account of U.S. federal-government atlases from 1870 to 1920,
and digital versions of ones from 1870, 1880, and 1890,
plus a digital version of the government's 1970 atlas,
see - memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/census.html
And thanks to the Library of Congress for making this accessible.

I was researching a question for someone, and came across the following site:
http://www.census.gov/history/www/programs/geography/statistical_atlases.html .
In addition to the brief history, they link to three 19th century copies of the
atlas, via the Library of Congress (American Memory) site. This includes the
atlases from 1870, 1880 and 1890. This might be of interest to some on the list.
