In the early 1860’s Alvin Jewitt Johnson took control of the atlas publishers G. Woolworth Colton. His ‘New Illustrated Family Atlas’ brought out a whole new series of maps into the upheaval of the American Civil War raging at the time. This is Johnson’s first plan of the capital which is distinguished by the inclusion of three vignette views of the Capitol, Smithsonian and Washington Monument. This is an example of the first state before the addition of the railway line to Georgetown and the new settlement of Uniontown. Ristow (1985) p. 325.
