Millroy and Egan
Millroy and Egan (fl. c. 1889 - 1908) were map publishers based in Seattle, Washington, in the late 19th and early 20th century. The founders were John James Millroy (January 28, 1862 - c. 1809), born in Wisconsin, and Harry Egan (April 28, 1870 - July 5, 1944), born in New York. We have found few maps with their imprint, but their signature work is a large-scale 1901 map of Washington. Millroy also independently published a map of Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush.
