About this piece

Ohio in a color-printed county map, titled "Ohio", from the Ninth Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, published in 1884. The sheet is engraved in fine lines with counties tinted in yellow, green and pink, and the imprint of W. & A.K. Johnston, Edinburgh and London, is printed at the lower right.

The state is shown with its county boundaries, its towns and its railroads, with Lake Erie along the top and the Ohio River marking the long southern and eastern edge, beyond which lie Kentucky and West Virginia. Michigan and Indiana are named at the margins. Three insets fill the corners of the sheet: a plan of Cleveland on the lake at the upper left, Columbus below it on the left, and Cincinnati and vicinity at the lower right, where the Ohio River bends below the city. The scale of miles is given beneath the main map, and the volume and plate numbers are printed at the top corners.

Ohio's three largest cities of the 1880s are each given a large-scale plan here, which makes the sheet a handy record of the state at the height of its industrial growth after the Civil War.
