About this piece

Farms, agriculture and crops in the United States in 1870, an original color lithograph (Plate 36A) 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 carries four small maps of the country east of the 100th meridian, each lettered in the corner: "Improved land in farms", "Total agricultural production", "Corn" and "Dairy products".

Each map shows the Great Lakes, Florida and the Gulf coast in outline, with the Caribbean islands at the lower right, and the distribution is printed in graded green tints with a scale beside each. Improved land and total production cover the whole settled country, with the heaviest tint through the Northeast and the Midwest, while the corn map centers on the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and the dairy map is strongest in New England and New York. A note at the foot refers the reader to Plate XXXVI for the explanation of the scale of the crop maps.

The sheet belongs to the agricultural plates of the atlas.
