Large detailed map of the western United States printed just three years into the American Civil War. Published by Alvin J. Johnson for his New Illustrated Family Atlas of the World with Physical Geography and with Descriptions Geographical, Statistical and Historic…, from plates he purchased from J. H. Colton.
