This finely detailed map was published in one of the great 19th-century atlases in the lead-up to the Civil War. The map shows counties, towns and cities, railroads, and topographical information for each of the states listed in the title. It features a combination of hand and lithograph coloring. The rare and important Atlas of the United States of North America... was a collaboration between the British cartographer Alexander Keith Johnston and the American geographer Henry Darwin Rogers. Their combined efforts produced one of the finest groups of U.S. maps in the 19th century, most notably the outstanding maps of the western states and territories.
