 (Map goes left to right) 
  This perspective map of Columbus was drawn in 1886 by a Milwaukee, Wis. firm, 
Henry Wellge and Co.
  For historical researchers and those persons interested in a bird's eye view 
of the structures - domestic, commercial and 
industrial - .that made up the city at that time, the map is a valuable 
document. Buildings are shown in remarkable detail and, when compared to old 
photographs, with notable accuracy. Close study of the panporama has revealed 
only several
exceptions: the Georgia Midland and Gulf Railroad complex in the upper right 
corner and the six  story Garrett and Sons cigar factory apparently were never 
built to those proportions but were being considered at the time.
  Cooperation between the owners of the map, the First National Bank, and Litho-
Krome Company for color assistance, 
has made it possible the above reproduction. 
  The Ledger - Enquirer gratefully acknowledges  its appreciation to these 
local businesses.

 * you may not be able to read the list numbers, I had to reduce the scan size 
of the map(and put into 4 sections) It is hard to find the places on the full 
page map.  This will give an idea of what the downtown area was like in the 
1886 time frame. (Christine G. thacker)
