About this piece

The southwestern United States on the south west sheet of a map titled "United States of North America", an original map from the Royal Atlas of Modern Geography, published by W. & A.K. Johnston in 1909. The sheet is printed in color within a ruled border.

The main map covers Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, with the borders of the states and territories tinted, and carries on south across the Mexican border to take in Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Sinaloa, Durango, Nuevo Leon and the whole of Lower California. Rivers, railways and mountain ranges are drawn throughout, and the Gulf coast of Texas runs down the right edge. The title block sits at lower left, above a row of four city insets across the foot of the sheet: Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Boston, each shown with its environs as a detailed plan.

The inset cities, from the Midwest, the Pacific coast and the Atlantic seaboard, are not neighbors of the main map, a reminder that the atlas used one sheet of the United States series to carry its large city plans.
