Alvin Jewett Johnson was a prolific American mapmaker best known for Johnson’s New Illustrated Family Atlas, published from 1860 to 1887. Originally reissuing Colton plates, Johnson lowered costs with lithographic printing. His vividly colored maps, especially of the American West, are now prized for their detail, style, and historical significance.
