This fine folio atlas includes the beautiful American Atlas frontispiece showing Native Americans overlooking a rapidly developing river valley, several interesting thematic maps, and a plate showing the flags of all nations. Also included is Johnson's Nebraska, Dakota, Colorado, Montana & Kansas, a colorful double-page map that shows a large Dakota territory occupying present-day Wyoming. Johnson's New Map of the State of Texas depicts county development mostly in eastern Texas and only the three large counties of El Paso, Presidio, and Bexar organized in the west. The panhandle, noted as the Staked Plains (Elevated Table Land, without Wood or Water), includes a large section that is unorganized. Also contains the Civil War Map of the Vicinity of Richmond and Peninsular Campaign in Virginia. There is excellent detail throughout with scores of place names, roads, watershed, topography, the Emigrant Road, forts and springs. Nearly complete with 63 sheets of single and double page maps with only the Germany, No. 1 map missing. Hardbound in original green cloth with quarter calf spine with titling in gilt on front cover and spine.

Overall very good condition. Several maps have centerfold separations at bottom including the U.S. map (6") and the map of California, Utah and Nevada (5"). Maps have light toning and occasional minor foxing with the first 10 sheets showing small wormholes in the upper right margin away from the images. The top third of the front cover is separated and the spine is partially missing at top.
