| | Minnesota genealogy: The Andreas Atlas, 1874 |
 | | In addition to selling subscriptions (that is, a purchaser would get his name on a township map and in a patrons' directory, and would receive a copy of the final product), Andreas would return to those purchasers and sell additional features. |
 | | He chose Minnesota because the state was young, the population had money, and the eastern mapmakers had not yet worked the area. |
 | | There are birds' eye views of Eyota (Olmsted Co.), Appleton (Swift Co.), Granite Falls (Yellow Medicine Co.), Montevideo (Chippewa Co.), Preston (Fillmore Co.), Sauk Rapids (Benton Co.), and Waseca (Waseca Co.), in addition to large fold-out illustrations of St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Winona. |
