Item Details
Description
Nice example of Johnson and Ward's highly desirable 1865 map of Texas. Because of the high acidity in the paper used by the firm’s publishers, Johnson maps can often contain many large dark sulfide spots that detract from the appearance of these great maps. This one has just a few very small marks. Created during the Civil War, this extraordinary double-page map details the state of Texas in full. Identifies the elevated Table Lands, el Llando estadado (the Staked Plain), the U.S. Mail Route, numerous geographical notations and features original hand-coloring according to county. El Paso, Presidio and Bexar counties are gigantic and occupy much of the western portion of the state. Insets in the lower left quadrant detail Sabine Lake (with depth soundings), Galveston Bay (from the U.S.C.S.), and the northern panhandle. Throughout, Johnson identifies various cities, towns, rivers and an assortment of additional topographical details. The route of the San Antonio-El Paso Mail Line (in service until 1861) is delineated (via Ft. Clark/Camp Lancaster/Ft. Davis). Also depicted is the route of the Butterfield Overland Mail Route (in service 1858-61) from Ft. Bliss to Gainesville/Sherman. Light edge toning. A lovely example of a highly collectible piece of American cartography. 16.5 x 24.5.
