The scale of the map is given as 1 2/3 inches to the mile and the scale of the insets as 30 rods to the inch. F. W. Beers first published his Atlas of New York and Vicinity in 1867. The atlas chiefly contains maps of Westchester, Dutchess and Putnam counties, New York. Various issues of the atlas were published in 1867 and 1868 with differences in the number and selection of maps included by the publisher. "Beers tailored the contents of the atlases carefully. He prepared 137 maps for the area he called 'New York City and Vicinity' but no one atlas had more than 61, and one had as few as 36" (McCorkle, 40). The maps apparently were specially selected to be marketed in the different counties. See McCorkle for a detailed tabular listing of the maps in six different copies examined. Nine maps appeared in all six volumes McCorkle examined. The map of the town of Mount Pleasant appears in two of the six volumes.
