About this piece

The Irish and German population of the United States in 1870, an original color lithograph (Plate XXVII) from the Statistical Atlas of the United States based on the results of the ninth census 1870, compiled by Francis A. Walker and published in 1874. The title reads "Maps showing the distribution, within the territory of the United States east of the 100th meridian, of certain foreign elements of the population. I. according to their number to the square mile, absolute. II. according to their proportion to the aggregate population, relative."

The sheet carries four small maps, lettered "1 Irish, Absolute", "2 Irish, Relative", "3 German, Absolute" and "4 German, Relative". Each shows the country east of the 100th meridian with the Great Lakes, Florida and the Gulf coast outlined, and purple shading graded by a small scale. The Irish are strongest in the cities and states of the Northeast, while the Germans spread more widely across the Great Lakes states and the Mississippi valley.

The maps are compiled from the returns of the ninth census.
