The 1863 Johnson and Ward map of Central America is an exquisite and intricately detailed representation of the region. It exhibits a captivating palette of pink, green, yellow, and soft blue hues, meticulously employed to delineate national and regional borders. The map boasts several insets, offering additional insights into geographical features such as the Isthmus of Panama, the Harbor of San Juan de Nicaragua, the Nicaragua Route, Aspinwall City, and the City of Panama.  

This map is an evolution of an earlier North American wall map attributed to Colton and D. Griffing Johnson. It faithfully captures the political divisions of Central America in 1863, along with significant urban centers, towns, winding rivers, and expansive lakes. Furthermore, the map encompasses notable topographical characteristics like towering mountains and lush forests.

The Johnson and Ward map of Central America serves as an invaluable historical artifact, affording us a glimpse into this region during a period of profound transformation. Its publication occurred just a few years prior to the commencement of the American Civil War, portraying Central America on the cusp of a new and uncertain era.
