1876 Railway Map of the United States
In 1876 the American rail network was still being stitched together. The transcontinental link at Promontory Summit was only seven years old, Colorado had just become a state, and Dakota and Indian Territory were still territories. This railway map, drawn for Stanford’s Folio series in London, shows the country as British readers saw it during that build-out decade.
The reproduction comes from the Edward Stanford Cartographic Collection archive, scanned at high resolution and reprinted by Map Shop. It is a new print, not an original sheet, and the character of the aged original is part of what you receive.
