About this piece

Illinois, 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 the counties outlined and tinted in pink, green and yellow, set within a decorative ruled border.

The state fills the sheet from the Wisconsin line at the top to the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers at its southern tip. The title "Johnson's Illinois, published by A.J. Johnson, New York" is lettered at the lower left, and Lake Michigan appears at the upper right. Illinois is divided into a dense pattern of small counties, each with its county seat and the surrounding towns, and railroad lines cross the state, many of them converging on Chicago at the southern end of the lake. The Mississippi forms the western boundary against Iowa and Missouri, and the Wabash and Ohio rivers mark the eastern and southern edges. Parts of Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky and Missouri are shown in the margins.

The atlas page numbers are printed in the corners of the sheet.
