The Wayne Lithographed Map



This overhead view of Wayne was made in 1898 by O.H. Baily & Co., lithographers and publishers from Boston. It is an extremely detailed depiction of Wayne and St. Davids, showing almost every building for about a square mile. It is unknown exactly how this lithograph was made, although it has been speculated that it was drawn from a balloon. At the bottom of the map is a list of notable landmarks, which correspond via a letter with the location on the map.

There are two versions of the drawing here. The first is the complete unabridged map, and the second is a slightly smaller version, labeled according to the list on the bottom of the map.

PLEASE NOTE that these files are quite large and slower connections will take a long time.
