Alvin Jewett Johnson (1827-1884) was an American cartographer and publisher known for producing detailed and visually striking atlases and maps in the mid-19th century. His "Johnson’s New Illustrated Family Atlas," first published in 1860, became one of the most popular and widely distributed atlases of its time, reflecting the expanding geography of the United States.
