About this piece

The middle of the United States, "United States of North America (Central Sheet)" by Keith Johnston, a color-printed map engraved and published in 1903 by W. & A.K. Johnston of Edinburgh and London. The title is lettered at the lower right, with scales and a table of distances at the lower left.

The sheet runs from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. In the north are Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin, with the upper end of Lake Michigan and part of Lake Superior at the top right. Below them come Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois, then Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas, and in the south Texas and Louisiana, with the Mississippi delta at lower right, and a strip of New Mexico on the left edge. State boundaries are outlined in color, and counties, railroads, rivers and the shaded hills of the Ozarks and the Rockies foothills are drawn throughout. The territories that became Oklahoma in 1907 are shown north of Texas.

The dense railroad network on the sheet reflects the central states at their period of greatest growth, when the plains were settled and Chicago and Kansas City were the railheads of the continent.
