The rest of the state of Illinois is presented in the form of county maps, with a few additional maps of the entire state of Illinois as well as a map of Chicago. The atlas continues with regional maps of the United States of which the western states and territories were in a constant state of change with advancing railroads and increased land ownership among new settlers. Finally, a map of the West Indies, the western and eastern hemisphere conclude the cartographic contents of the atlas.
