Historical Topographic Manuscript Maps by C. C. Vermeule Around
1870-1887
 
Abstract
These Adobe™ PDF files of Historical topographic manuscript maps were completed
by Topographic Engineer C.C. Vermeule from around 1870 to 1887 at a scale
of 1 to 21,120 (3 inches equal one mile). The maps constitute New Jersey's
first topographic survey, and show early topographic interpretations and
cultural features of the state. For conservation purposes, Vermeule's maps
were encapsulated in archival mylar. After encapsulation, each map was scanned
in TIFF format at 300 dpi as RGB datatype and converted to JPEG format. The
JPEG image was then converted to an Adobe™ PDF document. There are 101 topographic
maps in the series and one key map. Maps numbered 50 and 53 are missing from
the archive and were scanned from blue line field copies. Due to equipment
limitations, some maps were scanned in two sections and are identified with
the letter "n", "s", "e" or "w". To view a map, click
on a numbered section on the map below.
To view an index map (in Adobe™ PDF) click on
