Map of Ontario in Counties is Samuel Augustus Jr. Mitchell’s confident portrait of a province on the cusp of modern nationhood, issued in 1868 with a copyright imprint of 1867 as part of Mitchell’s New General Atlas. The composition marries bright, discriminating color to an ornate border and finely engraved cartouches, elevating administrative fact into visual pleasure. County tints lock neatly along crisply drawn lines, while a clear scale bar invites precise measurement of overland distances. In a characteristically Mitchellian touch, longitude is referenced to both Greenwich and Washington, D.C., a dual system that aligned his geography with British and American conventions alike. The result is a sheet that is at once authoritative and lucid, balancing decorative flourish with hard-working, navigable detail.
Issued at the moment of Canadian Confederation, the map captures Ontario’s administrative reorganization as the Province of Canada divided into Ontario and Quebec in 1867. County demarcations register the legal scaffolding of settlement, taxation, and justice, while the province’s striking hydrography—Lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, and Georgian Bay—sets the stage for trade and migration. The Ottawa River frames the northeast; the Thames and Grand Rivers thread through the southwest; and gentle hill shading hints at the Niagara Escarpment’s long arc. Borders with New York and Michigan appear naturally along the Niagara and Detroit river corridors, underscoring the cross-border economy that tied ports and mills to Great Lakes shipping. Every tint and line conveys the mid-19th-century logic of land, law, and water.
Mitchell labels a constellation of rising towns that would anchor Ontario’s growth. Toronto, the bustling lakeside entrepôt, sits within historic York County; Ottawa, newly affirmed as the national seat, appears upriver with direct orientation to the St. Lawrence system. Hamilton lies snug against the harbor curve of the western Lake Ontario shore; London centers fertile Middlesex; Windsor fronts the strategic Detroit River; St. Catharines commands the Niagara peninsula; and Guelph marks Wellington’s interior. The map also notes the community later known as Kitchener (then Berlin), emblematic of the German-rooted settlements of Waterloo County. Together these urban names, set amid a mosaic of townships and concessions, reveal the province’s developing hierarchy of markets, magistracies, and roads, each county color guiding the eye from lake port to inland farm.
Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr., heir to one of America’s most influential cartographic houses, brought a publisher’s discipline and a designer’s eye to this atlas series. Building on his father’s legacy, he refined a house style distinguished by vivid but legible color, consistent iconography, and meticulous updates keyed to political change. His choice to cite both Greenwich and Washington meridians reflects an astute awareness of his transatlantic audience, as does the atlas’s balance of national, regional, and county plates. Mitchell’s work thrived in a competitive market—promoted through energetic advertising and aimed at schools, parlors, and countinghouses—by promising dependable orientation in a swiftly changing world. This Ontario plate exemplifies that promise: exacting in boundary detail, generous in geographic context, and attuned to the questions educated readers were asking.
Aesthetically, the sheet maintains the high Victorian taste for ornament without sacrificing clarity. The arabesque border frames a field of impeccably set type, with county names, townships, rivers, and lakes arrayed in a hierarchy that reads at a glance yet rewards closer study. Toned hill forms lend topographic relief; waterways are drawn with supple confidence; and the measured lattice of lines and numerals translates space into intelligible distance. Insets and motifs are restrained to preserve focus on the provincial canvas, while brief peeks into New York and Michigan acknowledge Ontario’s porous frontiers. As an artifact of a pivotal decade—when jurisdiction caught up with settlement and a new capital took its place—the map is an elegant synthesis of beauty and exactitude, the civil order of counties laid gracefully over the drama of the Great Lakes.

Please double check the images to make sure that a specific town or place is shown on this map. You can also get in touch and ask us to check the map for you.
This map looks great at every size, but I always recommend going for a larger size if you have space. That way you can easily make out all of the details.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 50in (125cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40x50cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, check out my collection of the best old maps to see if something else catches your eye.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving, anniversary or housewarming gift for someone from the areas covered by this map.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.

Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.

Los mapas antiguos en lienzo son una alternativa interesante a los mapas enmarcados convencionalmente. Dependiendo de tu gusto personal y la decoración de la habitación, los mapas en lienzo pueden "destacar" un poco más que un mapa enmarcado.

Obtengo mapas originales y raros de bibliotecas, casas de subastas y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, los restauro en mi taller de Londres y luego uso tintas e impresoras giclée especializadas para crear hermosos mapas que lucen incluso mejor que el original.
Mis mapas están impresos en papel de archivo mate (no brillante) sin ácido que se siente de muy alta calidad y casi como una tarjeta. En términos técnicos, el peso/grosor del papel es de 10 mil/200 g/m². Es perfecto para enmarcar.
Imprimo con tintas pigmentadas Epson ultrachrome giclée UV resistentes a la decoloración, algunas de las mejores tintas que puedes encontrar.
