Locating a township atlas

Could anyone tell me how I could get a copy of the United States Township Atlas? I understand it's supposed to be published by the Gayle Group. Thanks,

When searching the net for a TOWNSHIP ATLAS, I found the following hit:
-------------------------------
http://www.webuse.com/townshipatlas/
1519 p. ill., $85.00 softcover
The Township ATLAS provides, in a single volume, maps of and indices to the minor county subdivisions of the 48 conterminous United States. It contains 70,000 place names and is particularly useful in genealogical research.

Looks like you might want to check the online catalog of your local public library to see if they have a copy of this at the reference desk. Consider the TIME PERIOD and not just the township where your ancestor lived. Boundaries may have changed.
