Description
This lovely pictorial map of the Mississippi River between the Twin Cities and Chicago was published by the Poole Brothers in 1951 on behalf of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. It was issued as the centerfold in a brochure promoting the route and the new Twin Zephyr trains with Vista domes.
Historic sites, natural beauty, and recreation locations are shown in profile and individually labeled, while a timeline in the upper right provides an abbreviated transportation history of the region. Illustrated covers highlight the sleek new design and incredible visibility for the scenic trip.
