The White and Kemble Atlas was updated by subscription and older maps were often discarded. The early maps are exceedingly rare. The Library of Congress lists copies in their collection. A Google Worldcat search lists copies in four libraries. The Cincinnati Railroad Club has an incomplete copy from the 1950s.
