Item description from seller

Folding timetable style map in very good condition. Worn and lightly frayed at bottom edge, mended along the outermost, when folded, fold with minor loss in title block. Full color by county. The map shows the northern half of the United States from coast to coast with all railroad shown and the C&NW and its connections highlighted. The recto has timetable information for connecting railroads and considerable promotional material for possible destimations, east and west. Two panels contain a small map of parts of northern California and western Nevada entitled, "Tourist Routes to the Yosemite." Dated January 1, 1883. The title panel reads Chicago & Northwestern Comprising 5 Trunk Lines, printed in red. It is interesting that this map has been entirely redrawn, with new type and a different color scheme, from a map with the same title from 1879. At the left side of the map is text, which does not appear on the 1879 edition, reading: "This is the route from Chicago to all points in Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, California, Washington Territory or the Islands of the Pacific." At the right is text: "Notice how the lines of this road can take you from Chicago to the best points in Northern Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Northern Michigan, Minnesota, Manitoba and Dakota.".…
