Pocket map of the state with a large inset of "Connections with Belt Line, Chicago." Circular title cartouche includes color coded legend identifying eight different groups of railroads. Excellent detail throughout including all railroad stations or stops. This was a presentation map that carries "Compliments of" on the inside front cover that appears to be signed by A.J.
