About this piece

Johnson's Canada, a map published by Johnson and Ward in 1864 as Johnson's Lower Canada and New Brunswick above, and Johnson's Upper Canada below, steel engraved with the counties outlined and tinted in pink and green and set within the ornamental chain border of Johnson's atlas.

Two maps share the tall sheet. The upper map covers Lower Canada, the present southern Quebec, along the St. Lawrence River, together with New Brunswick, with an inset plan of the Montreal area. The lower map covers Upper Canada, the present southern Ontario, between Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, with the St. Lawrence at the right and an inset at the lower right of the Welland Canal. Counties, towns, railroads and rivers are drawn throughout.

The year is three years before Confederation, when the province was still named the Province of Canada, divided into Canada East and Canada West.
