About this piece

Johnson's New York, an original steel-engraved map of the state published by Johnson and Browning in 1862, with outline and wash color by county. The title "Johnson's New York by Johnson & Browning" is engraved at the lower left above a scale of miles, and the sheet bears the plate number "21" at the lower right edge.

The state is drawn from Lake Erie and Lake Ontario eastward to the Hudson and Long Island, with each county tinted in pink, yellow, green or blue and the state boundary traced in red. Railroads and county seats are marked, and the neighboring territory is shown: part of Canada across the lakes, Pennsylvania to the south, New Jersey at the foot, and Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut to the east. Long Island is carried in an extension at the lower right, where the map runs past its frame. The whole is enclosed in the scrolled and vine-patterned border used on Johnson's atlas plates of this period.

This is the smaller, earlier format of the Johnson state map, with no city insets, so the sheet gives a clear picture of the counties and rail network of New York at the start of the Civil War.
