1914 Mexico Map – National Geographic
This map reached National Geographic Society members in May 1914, three years after the Society’s first Mexico map. The difference between the two is mostly steel: new rail lines pushing across the Gulf coast and expansions underway in other regions. Read alongside the Mexican Revolution, the railroad network tells the story of who could move troops, sugar, and ore, and where. History enthusiasts, classroom teachers, and library buyers use this one as a primary-source talking point, and it holds a wall in a study or law office just as well.
