Original antique color lithographed street plan of Indianapolis, printed more than 125 years ago.

• The map shows horse-drawn streetcar lines, steam railroads, street names, public buildings, and other points of interest, including the National Road, the historic first road built from the eastern seaboard into the heartland of the United States. It passed through the heart of Indianapolis just north of the City Water Works and the Deaf & Dumb Asylum, along what is also labeled as Washington Street. This route was later designated as U.S. 40.



• Among the other specific named places and features are the United States Arsenal, Stock Yards Hotel, State Fair Grounds, City Gas Works, Blind Asylum, Military Reservatory, Vandalia Railroad, Garfield Place, and Car Company Works.



• The image area measures 33 x 26 cm [13" x 10¼"], with generous margins on all sides.



• The map was compiled by George Franklin Cram and published by Balch Bros., 36 Bromfield Street, Boston in the 1891 edition of International Office and Family Atlas of the World.



• Condition:  It is in excellent condition, bright and clean, with no marks, rips, or tears. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.



• It is an original, authentic antique map, not a reproduction or modern reprint. It is fully guaranteed to be genuine.



• There's a street map of San Francisco, California, on the reverse side, in similar style and format.



• Either map would make a very handsome display in your den or office. It would also make a perfect gift, and we'll include our helpful framing tips for your reference, along with a photocopy of the dated title page from the book in which it was published.
