Something known as a 'census atlas' for Trumbull County, Ohio, published around 1869 if my memory is right. They were somewhat common in the midwest to show 'special homes', public buildings and churches (graphic, not photo) and who owned land in the county. Each township in the county had maps with roads and names on the lots of who owned the properties, interspersed in the pages were the graphics homes, etc, of the area shown. In the back was a historical appendix of the properties going back to the mid 1830's. My dad's family owned property in the house where he grew up going back at least to the 1830's. The only rare book dealer I knew that specialized in the 'census atlas' was one in Akron - and I don't think he is still in business any longer.
I think it sits on the bottom shelf to the right love seat (see photo at right)
