http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122458808

The collection consists of seventy original hand-colored plans and maps. Most are single sheets, approximately 21" x 26" containing a site plan and axonometric drawing with materials denoted by a watercolor wash. The sheets also contain a printed synopsis of the plant and available fire protection systems. The subjects are primarily textile mills, paper products factories and foundries in New England and New York. About a quarter of the sheets are maps of urban water-main systems in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. One sheet is a panorama of the New Jersey Zinc Company's West Plant at Palmerton, Pa.
