GENEALOGICAL BOOKS IN PRINT.
Stratton, Eugene. Applied Genealogy.
The Rand McNally Commercial Atlas.
Published as a marketing tool for distribution-oriented businesses—but many genealogy libraries have one, too. A very large book, with one state per page, listing even the tiniest of towns and unincotporated communities. No highways—just railway lines, watercourses, county lines, township lines where they exist. A complete index of town names is included for each state. Much more complete than the Zip Code Directory or the official List of Post Offices. Costs roughly $250 per yearly edition, and weighs about 30 lbs. Check your local library.
