A terrific railroad map that is most notable in its depiction of the Golden Spike area in Utah: the entire track is shown completed except for 50 miles between Weber Canyon and Fort Bridger! We've never seen a railroad map with this unique depiction. Locates scores of railroads throughout the country, all named. The Northern & Southern Pacific Trunk lines are shown in bold lines. Published by the American Photo-Lithographic Company using "Osborne's Process."
