Description
For the American Centennial of 1876 the Colton Map Company produced this spectacular and celebratory map of the now coast-to-coast United States. Only the main lines are drawn on this map since there was by this time a myriad of connecting lines, sidelines, whistle stops (but only by request) and detours, especially the east of the Mississippi. You could write a history of the USA in the 19th century by the advancement of the railroads! I, however, am content to share their iron roads on a map.
