Description
One of the scarcest and most historically significant of A. J. Johnson's southwest series. Published in 1863 at the height of the American Civil War, this stunning map depicts the state of California and the territories of Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Offers superb detail throughout noting mining districts, emigrant trails, the Santa Fe Trail, the Pony Express Route and several proposed railroads, as well as American Indian tribes, geological features, and local political divisions. Nevada has its lower corner truncated, leaving Las Vegas in Arizona. Utah extends approximately 1 degree too far to the west, prior to the last set of reductions undertaken by the US Government. Several counties still extend into both Arizona and New Mexico. In each of the states and territories, the county configurations are still largely incomplete. This is one of the most detailed accurate commercial maps of the era. It includes explorers’ routes, major routes of commerce, towns, forts, Indian Tribes, mountains, rivers, roads, mining districts, proposed railroad routes, important dates in the evolution of the U.S.-Mexico Boundary, etc. Johnson's map of the West is one of the most interesting and collectable maps of the period. This map series was updated annually or more often, showing profound territorial boundary changes and county formations from year to year and even within a single year. Very short split at bottom centerfold. Two small repaired edge tears. Tips of corners missing (won’t show when matted). Three tiny spots. Excellent original hand coloring. 17 x 24.5
