Condition: Very good condition. This is a brilliant use of color to designate the individual railroads in both states at 1899. Cram's presentation of American railroads was unsurpassed for its time. Various state level commissions produced maps but it was Cram that offered blanket coverage of the entire United States. Important for this map is the extensive coverage of railroads around cities. Shown are numerous railroads and express companies. Railroads have the same color on the separate maps through which they pass. Included are: Southern Pacific, North Pacific Coast, Carson & Colorado,Nevada CentralLos Angeles & Redondo,Alameda & San Joaquin, Mount Lowe and San Diego & Phoenix. 22 3/4 x 16 1/2 inches when combined yield a map 33 by 22 3/4 inches.
