Western Railroads and Cattle Trails of the 1870s
Part of the Kappa Map Group Classroom Series, this wall map uses color to separate the land itself from the movement across it, making U.S. History lessons on the trail-driving decade more concrete and accessible.
- Forested lands, arid lands, and grasslands distinguished by color
- Cattle trails running north out of Texas toward the Kansas railheads
- Western railroad lines of the 1870s
- Cattle-raising country identified as a distinct region
- Meets U.S. History curriculum requirements for public, private, parochial, and home schools
This version ships as a spring roller with backboard, ready to mount above a chalkboard or whiteboard. Map Shop can also combine it with other Classroom Series history maps on a single multi-map roller system, which teachers and curriculum coordinators use to run a full unit off one wall.
