Map of California, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, circa 1867

Date

1865 to 1869

Description

39 x 56 cm. Relief shown by hachures. "Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1864, by A.J. Johnson in the Clerks Office of the United States for the Southern District of New York." Atlas page numbers in upper margin: 67-68. Primer meridians: Greenwich and Washington, D.C. On verso: History and statistical view of the West India islands or Columbian Archipelago and Historical and statistical view of Mexico and Central America. Shows proposed railroads, locations of Indian tribes, natural features, counties, mines, mail routes, trails and routes of exploring expeditions. Has decorative border. Southern part of Nevada was added to the state in 1867 and is part of Nevada on this map, but Lincoln County was established in 1867 and is not on this map. This map was still probably published in 1867 in spite of someone's having written "1864" in pencil in the lower right corner of the Library's copy. Original publisher: A.J. Johnson.
