The United States of 1900 is mapped by crop, birthplace and industry in the Statistical Atlas, prepared under Henry Gannett's supervision for the Census Office and published in Washington in 1903 to present the Twelfth Census, directed by William R. Merriam. Agriculture is a major theme, with crop production, yields, farm tenure, irrigation and the distribution of particular fruits and grains, while population sheets show migration, birthplace, family size and other census categories. Industrial production, employment and mortality complete the picture, with density, proportion and change each mapped in their own way.
