This 8.5 inch by 11 inch county atlas contains thirty-five township plats whose boundaries are derived from the original federal survey, a map of Dane County, as well as plats of cities and numerous villages.

The atlas also includes a Wisconsin State map and one page of text offering a detailed description of the U.S. Rectangular Survey or "Land System of the United States" adopted by an Act of Congress, May 20, 1785 and resulting in the basic grid system of land demarcation from Ohio to the Pacific. Dane County was surveyed according to this system. The publication concludes with a 10-page Patrons' Directory of Dane County, Wisconsin listing those whose subscriptions helped pay for the publication. It also lists their occupations. |
