About this piece

A map of the state of New York, titled "Johnson's New York," from Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas of the World, published in New York by A.J. Johnson in 1872. The sheet is a color-printed map in a decorative chain-pattern border, with page numbers 38 and 39 in the upper corners.

The state is divided into counties tinted in pink, green and yellow, from Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in the west to the Hudson and the Connecticut line in the east, and from the Canadian border and the Adirondack country in the north to the Pennsylvania border in the south. Railways, canals, rivers, lakes and towns are lettered across the sheet. A separate inset along the foot, "Long Island," gives a larger-scale map of the island with its counties and the city and harbor of New York at the western end. Neighboring parts of Ontario, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania appear at the edges. The title and the publisher's imprint are at the upper left.

The sheet shows the state's county structure and transport network in the early 1870s.
