Rand, McNally & Co.'s map of the United States showing, in six degrees the density of population, 1890, (1892). This map, published in 1892 by the Chicago-based Rand McNally and Company, shows the population density of the United States in 1890. Six shades of color are used to indicate the different levels of population density by location, ranging from fewer than two inhabitants per square mile (2.59 square kilometers) to more than 90 inhabitants per square mile. The most densely populated parts of the country are in the Northeast and parts of the Midwest. The West is for the most part sparsely populated, although already by this time Denver, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and Seattle are emerging as major cities. Red stars are used to indicate the westward movement of the country's center of population, caused by a century of migration and settlement. A note at the bottom explains that in 1890 the overall population density of the United States (excluding Alaska) was 20.77 inhabitants per square mile, up from 16.58 inhabitants per square mile a decade earlier. Also shown are major geographic features including national and state borders, mountains, rivers and lakes, major roads, cities and towns, national parks, and Indian reservations

Rand McNally & Co.'s Map of the United States Showing, in Six Degrees the Density of Population, 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a historical map published by the Chicago-based Rand McNally and Company in 1892. This map offers a unique perspective on the population distribution in the United States during that time. Six distinct shades of color represent varying levels of population density, ranging from less than two inhabitants per square mile to over 90 inhabitants per square mile. The map reveals that the most densely populated areas were primarily located in the Northeast and parts of the Midwest. In contrast, the Western regions were mostly sparsely populated, although major cities such as Denver, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and Seattle were already beginning to emerge. Red stars on the map mark the westward movement of the country's center of population, indicating the significant impact of a century of migration and settlement. The overall population density of the United States (excluding Alaska) in 1890 was 20.77 inhabitants per square mile, a marked increase from the 16.58 inhabitants per square mile recorded a decade earlier. The map also showcases major geographic features, including national and state borders, mountains, rivers and lakes, major roads, cities and towns, national parks, and Indian reservations. This fascinating historical artifact provides valuable insights into the demographic shifts and geographic characteristics of the United States during the late 19th century.
