Although agriculture remained central to Deerfield's economy, these detailed maps of the Town's population centers indicate the variety of commercial activity in the area. Tobacco sheds, small factories, stores, and hotels all appear on the map. An extensive list of business notices provides additional information on the individuals engaged in farming, manufacturing, and retailing, or services such as physicians. The maps not only indicate the names of homeowners, but they also show the footprints, or outlines, of the buildings in the villages.
