About this piece

Persons of foreign parentage in the United States in 1870, an original color lithograph (Plate XXIII) 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 title describes a map showing, in five degrees of density, the distribution within the territory east of the 100th meridian of that part of the population of foreign parentage, meaning all persons having a father or mother or both foreign.

The map covers the eastern United States, with the Great Lakes, Florida, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean islands outlined. Counties are shaded in purple, graded by a scale at the right, with the darkest tints in the northeastern states, around the Great Lakes and across the upper Mississippi valley. Blue lines mark districts at the western edge, and an explanation is printed beneath the title.

It is one of a group of plates on the foreign-born population in the atlas, based on the returns of the ninth census.
