Fletcher W. Hewes & Henry Gannett, Manufactures. Total Product, Per Capita, By Counties (1883)

This page from Scribner's Statistical Atlas of the United States, published in 1883 under the direction of Fletcher W. Hewes and Henry Gannett, contains a choropleth map of the United States that displays the total market value of all finished manufactured goods produced in each U.S. county in 1880, divided by the county's population. The darker shading indicates higher values of products per capita, signaling the locations of central hubs of manufacturing in the United States, including much of the New England region, New York, Chicago, and Detroit. The page also includes an inset choropleth map based on the value of states' finished manufactured goods per capita. Once again, New York and states in New England stand out as having the highest value of finished manufactured goods per capita. To the left of the maps are three graphs that display the total value of finished goods from specific industries (top bar graph), total value of finished manufactured goods produced in each state (bottom left bar graph), and total value of finished manufactured goods in each state per capita (bottom right bar graph). Rhode Island has the highest total value of finished manufactured goods per capita, even though it's total product value overall is ranked fourteenth. This is because it has a small population relative to the value of goods it produces within the state. New York, on the other hand, ranks sixth in product value per capita, but they also have an extremely large population compared to most other states.
