The title page of Greenleaf's 1829 "Survey" says it is "Illustrated by Maps." In fact these maps are in a separate atlas published without a title page. "Atlas Accompanying Greenleaf's Map and Statistical Survey of Maine." Contents as follows:1. Orthographic projection of the situation of the mountain and highland ranges particularly in the northern part of the State.2. 10 Vertical projections of the elevation of the northern and eastern boundary line with those of sections across the State from the Atlantic to the St. Lawrence; and the comparative declivities of the principal rivers.3. Sketch of the British map got up during the late war with a view to raise pretence for a claim to a new boundary.4. Maps of the British surveyors under the treaty of Ghent shewing their pretended ranges of highlands across the State. The 4 preceding Maps are designed to exhibit the true merits of the question of the disputed boundary as far as it is affected by the direction and elevation of the highlands.5. Map of the original grants and sales of land under which the titles are now holden -- from the earliest dates to the latest divisions of land between Maine and Massachusetts.6. Map exhibiting the progress present density and distribution of population and wealth; and the present representative districts.7. A comparative view of the climate of Maine and others of the United States and of England exhibited in a series of diagrams of the monthly means and extremes of temperature."Greenleaf was as in many of his endeavors ahead of his time in publishing an atlas devoted to an individual state. This atlas was preceded only by Robert Mill's 1825 Atlas of the State of South Carolina and David Burr's 1829 Atlas of the State of New York and it was not until many years later that another such state atlas appeared." - Ed Thompson "Important Maine Maps."
