Johns continued to make map paintings through the 1960s, including gray versions in 19, a white map in 1965, and a mural 33 feet (10 m) wide and 15 feet (4.6 m) high for Expo 67 in Montreal.

Johns considered that he was painting a map, not making a painting of a map. It has been suggested that the painting may be a visual pun, as Johns "deliberately put American painting on the map" in the 1950s. Although the outlines of the states are recognisable, the colors do not always respect state borders, perhaps suggesting the blurring of boundaries and homogenisation of post-war American society, reinforced by the mass-produced effect of the stencilled names. His rough brushwork resembles an Abstract Expressionist style or the late works of Cézanne. He copied the outlines to a large canvas, to which he added bright splashes of red, yellow, and blue, sometimes mixed, with accents of black and white. Johns was attracted to an image that is ubiquitous but "seen and not looked at, not examined", effectively a found object. Jasper Johnss predominantly gray painting could be classified as an actual map, insofar as it is functionally useful in locating, say, Louisiana or Oregon. He would depict many flags and maps, and this created a more distinct style with the work that was being done during this period. Much of the work that he created led the American public away from the expressionism form, and towards an art movement or form known as the concrete. Jasper Johnss maps are typical examples of works that take a familiar form and give it. Jasper Johns was an artist that came onto the scene in the 1950s. Johns was inspired by a gift from Robert Rauschenberg of some mimeographed outline maps of US states, of the sort that can be colored in by schoolchildren. Great art gives new perspectives, both literally and figuratively. Thats why we created Outage Alerts, which provide personalized alerts that provide real-time.

The painting measures 198.2 centimetres (78.0 in) by 314.7 centimetres (123.9 in). Its important to stay informed throughout storm season. The names of the states and ocean areas are stencilled. It represents the overall proportions and shapes of the states of the United States and parts of Mexico and Canada, although executed with a more "energetic application of paint" than found in cartography.
