About the Item
Map of Western United States 1903 – Railroads, State Borders, and Terrain
This beautifully engraved map titled "United States of North America (Western Sheet)" was created by Keith Johnston and published by W. & A.K. Johnston, Ltd. in London and Edinburgh, around 1903. It captures the western portion of the United States during a transformative period, showcasing states such as California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado.
This map is rich with historical detail, including an intricate network of railroads, key to the development of the western frontier in the early 20th century. State and county boundaries are carefully colored, while major rivers, mountain ranges, and settlements are precisely engraved, offering a glimpse into the growth of infrastructure and commerce. The typography is clean and refined, with town names, mountain peaks, and railway lines meticulously labeled.
Particularly interesting is the depiction of topography through delicate hachuring and shading, which brings the rugged beauty of the western landscape to life. The map also hints at the political and economic aspirations of the era, reflecting the westward expansion that defined the American experience.
The condition of this map is excellent for its age, with light toning around the edges and crisp, vibrant color that highlights the states and regions. It retains its charm and historical significance, making it a remarkable addition to any collection of antique maps or Americana.
For framing, a classic wooden frame in dark or natural tones would complement the historical aesthetic, while a neutral cream or soft tan mat would allow the detailed engravings to stand out. This map would make a wonderful centerpiece in an office, library, or living space, celebrating the rich heritage of the American West.
