Description
This vibrantly colored lithographed map of Iowa was originally published in 1910 by the Geographical Publishing Company of Chicago, but this particular example was issued in 1915 to promote the Clark-McDaniel Company, a clothing manufacturer from Cedar Rapids (according to the front cover).
Towns are labeled according to population, outlined in the legend in the upper right. Counties are individually shaded and congressional districts (11 total) are numbered and outlined in red. The routes of railroads (black), automobile roads (blue), and electric railways (dotted red) are also identified throughout the image. An index of Iowa cities and towns can be found on the verso.
