Map of Nicollet County, Minnesota, 1885. Cover names Haynes & Woodard as the publishers. The book contains 22 pages of color maps of all 13 Nicollet County townships.

Because of the cuts and folds, the use of both atlases is required in order to be able to read all of the names of the rural property owners.
