One of the Earliest Maps to Depict West Virginia

"Johnson's Pennsylvania Virginia Delaware and Maryland", Johnson & Ward

This handsome map of the Mid-Atlantic states appeared in Johnson's atlases in 1863. It is the first version of this map to include the new state of West Virginia. The name "Virginia" is still seen spilling into the lower portion of the new West Virginia. Counties, towns and cities, roads, and railroads are located. The map features three striking vignettes, depicting the University of Virginia, Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy at the time, and Fort Monroe in Hampton. Surrounded by a lovely strapwork border.
