About this piece

The crops of the United States in 1870, an original color lithograph (Plate XXXVI) from the Statistical Atlas of the United States based on the results of the ninth census 1870, compiled by Francis A. Walker and published in 1874. The sheet is headed "Maps showing the range, and, within the range, the degree of cultivation of certain principal crops", compiled from the statistics of agriculture of the ninth census.

It carries four small maps of the country east of the 100th meridian, each lettered in the corner: "Wheat and Rice", "Tobacco and Hops", "Oats and Cotton" and "Hay and Sugar". Each shows the Great Lakes, Florida and the Gulf coast in outline, and the crops are tinted in graded green, with brown used for the second crop of each pair. The wheat and oats maps cover the northern states, tobacco centers on the Ohio valley and the Chesapeake, cotton forms a brown belt across the Deep South, and rice and sugar appear at the Gulf coast. A note at the foot explains the scale.

The sheet is one of the agricultural plates in the atlas.
