This Rand McNally, 1878 folding pocket map shows not only the routes of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, but also gives us towns, hydrography as well as topography. A large inset contextualizes the rail lines with connecting routes to California and the west coast. The verso is full of advertising of routes, schedules and rates, highlighting towns all along the route. A rare map that was probably intended as an enticement for quick and easy travel to the western states and territories. Condition very good.
