About this piece

Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana on a single sheet, an original map from Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas of the World, published by A.J. Johnson of New York, dated 1872. The sheet is printed in black with each county outlined and tinted in pink, green and yellow, within a decorative ruled border.

The title block at the upper right reads "Johnson's Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana, published by A.J. Johnson, New York." The three states are drawn one above the other, with Arkansas across the top, Louisiana below it and Mississippi running down the right-hand side. The Mississippi River winds along the shared boundaries, and its delta spreads into the Gulf of Mexico at the foot of the sheet. County seats, towns, rivers and railroad lines are marked throughout, and parts of the neighboring states of Missouri, Tennessee and Texas appear along the margins.

The map belongs to the post-Civil War generation of American atlases, when county-level detail and railroad networks were the main selling points of a state map. The sheet carries its original atlas page numbers in the upper and lower corners.
