Description
This detailed railroad map was issued by The Matthews-Northrup Company of Buffalo and covers much of the northeastern and midwestern United States. The image presents the various routes of the New York Central Railway and its connections.
A clearly distorted base map (note the size of Connecticut vs. that of Ohio) identifies place names and geographic features, while stations are crammed along each boldly noted line in operation. The map was included as the centerfold in a promotional brochure issued by the railroad in 1900. Text and photographs promote the newly completed Grand Central Station (opening that October), magnificent scenery, and luxurious accommodations. Timetables, a rate list, and advertisements for both the Paris Exposition of 1900 and the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo are also included in the brochure.
