About this piece

The United States of North America, a general map from the 1882 Blackie atlas, published by Blackie & Son. The title "The United States of North America (General Map)" is engraved at the lower left with scales of English and geographical miles beneath it, and the plate number 52 is printed in the upper right corner.

The sheet shows the country from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic, with the Dominion of Canada across the top and northern Mexico along the lower left. The Gulf of Mexico, Florida, Cuba and the Bahamas appear at the bottom right. State and territory lines are drawn with color tints, the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachians are drawn with hachures, and the dense network of railways in the eastern half of the country thins out toward the West.

The date of the sheet falls in the decade after the Union Pacific and Central Pacific completed the first transcontinental line, when the Western territories were still being organized into states.
