About this Item

This is a large scale, highly detailed map of the United States. On the verso is a highly detailed transportation map of the world. There are a preponderance of railroads connecting the towns of the country. The landscape is a railroad landscape with the year of publication being the apex of railroad passenger carriage. Additionally there is a superimposed network of highways indexed by name. This, according to Athon Westward was the year that the pathfinders of the road system finished their work. The pathfinders were mostly engineers who traveled about the named trails mapping the details and routing the roads where necessary.(1) This map combines all the latest data into a compilation of tremendous coverage. The Worldcat search turns up one copy with both maps and one copy of the 1920 edition with both maps. Given the appropriate transportation focus, this map is a must for the collector of U.S. transportation and/or World transportation. (1) Newgard, Anthon L, Tales of Pathfinding, Publisher- A. L. Westward, Washingon:1920, p. 8. Very good with minor separations at the fold junctions. Seller Inventory # 640
