Johnson, A.J. "Johnson's Iowa and Nebraska"

A.J. Johnson. "Johnson's Iowa and Nebraska."

New York: Johnson & Ward, 1864. 17 x 22 3/4. Lithograph. Original hand color. Short repaired tear into bottom. Otherwise, very good condition.

Another Johnson's map of Iowa and Nebraska, issued three years after 1861.  The differences are minor, but interesting. First, Johnson makes the map a double page size and increases the part of Nebraska shown to twice the size as on the earlier map. There is little information given to this newly revealed part of the territory, except that Johnson shows the proposed route of the Pacific railroad, but the inclusion of the extended part of Nebraska clearly indicates the publisher expected this now blank part of the map to be rapidly filled in.
