About this piece

A double map on one sheet showing New Jersey on the left and Delaware and Maryland on the right, from Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas of the World, published in New York by A.J. Johnson in 1872. The sheet is color-printed in a decorative chain-pattern border, with page numbers 44 and 45 in the upper corners.

The left map, "Johnson's New Jersey," shows the state from the Hudson and the New York line down to Cape May, with the counties tinted in pink, green and yellow and the railroads, canals and towns lettered. The right map, "Johnson's Delaware and Maryland," shows both states with Chesapeake Bay at the center, the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and the Delmarva coast on the Atlantic side. An inset at the lower right shows the District of Columbia at a larger scale, with the Potomac, the plan of the federal city and its outline. The imprint of A.J. Johnson appears at the foot of each map.

The sheet is a compact record of the counties of the three states and the federal district in the early 1870s.
