About this piece

A map of Ontario, titled "Johnson's Ontario, of the Dominion of Canada," 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 22 and 23 in the upper corners.

The province is divided into counties tinted in pink, green and yellow, spreading between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay on the west, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario to the south, and the Ottawa River and the Quebec boundary at the east. Lake Manitoulin and the Bruce Peninsula are drawn at the upper left, with railways, canals and towns lettered across the settled south. The neighboring shores of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York appear at the edges, and an inset in the lower right, "Niagara River and Vicinity," gives a larger-scale view of the falls and the frontier between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

The sheet records Ontario in the first decade after Confederation.
