Description
This detailed railroad map of the United States shows the robust network of iron rails that spread across the country in the late 19th century. In particular, the lines of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway are emphasized throughout several states in the Midwest.
A small map of Mexico with connections in the southwest can be seen in the lower left. A second inset in the upper right shows how connections on either coast can take the intrepid traveler to nearly anywhere on the globe via rail and steamship lines. An extensive series of timetables can be found in the verso.
Arranged and published by Rand McNally in Chicago in 1888. Printing by Matthews, Northrup & Co.
