One of the more popular items in our online bookstore is the 1860 Hopkins Map Book of Sussex County. This is a 12” by 17” large format booklet with a single township printed on each page. This Hopkins map of Sussex County shows grist and saw mills, school houses, wheelwright, blacksmith and paint shops, lime kilns, roads, streams as well as residences and their owners. We are fortunate that Hopkins chose to favor us with his careful work. As a special offer we are selling the Map Book with the Alphabetical Index, compiled by Richard M. Stevens, for the price of $36. This Index is an alphabetical listing of all the names which occur on the 1860 Map of Sussex County in New Jersey produced by G.M. Hopkins, Jr., C.E. Each name is presumably associated with a house or other building such as a shop or mill. The name is supposed to be the property owner, and most have been confirmed from deed or census records. To purchase this offer go to our website at www.sussexhistory.org and click on the “shop” tab and look for the Map Book and Index Combo. Share some Sussex County history. Paypal is accepted.
