Pub Note:
Folded into brown cloth covers 13x8.5 which are gold stamped "Map Of The Thousand Islands." In the lower right is an "Index to Summer Cottages & Owners" which gives the name of various islands, their owner's name and winter residence. Property owners are shown directly on the map for the larger islands. Many of the owners are society figures from New York City, but also include George Pullman (inventor of the Pullman Sleeping Car) of Chicago and W.E. Story, a noted mathematician. The map was probably produced in a small edition for local use.
