Ormando W. Gray was a map publisher active in the later half of the 19th century. A civilian engineer and surveyor, he worked with several other map publishers like Henry Walling and Colton. His state and county atlases are well known. Frank A. Gray, presumably a relative, produced many maps that were published by the family firm, O.W. Gray & Sons. This map is a lovely example of their work.
