About this sheet
The northeast sheet of the United States of North America, from the Royal Atlas of Modern Geography, published by W. and A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London in 1909. The sheet is an original engraving printed in color, with the title "United States of North America (North East Sheet)" and its scale at the top.
The map covers the Great Lakes and the northeastern states, from Minnesota and Missouri in the west to Maine on the Atlantic: Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New England and the Mid-Atlantic states as far south as Virginia and West Virginia. The states are tinted and outlined in color, and a dense network of towns, railways and counties crowds the sheet. Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario are drawn in pale blue-green, and southern Ontario and Quebec appear above the border.
This was the most densely settled and industrial part of the country in 1909, and the detail of the sheet reflects that.
