This very large, colorful folding map features terrific railroad detail along with wagon roads, watershed, cities and villages, and much more. It includes an inset, "Map of Atlantic Coast States Engraved on a Large Scale," plus individual city plans of Boston, Cincinnati, New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago, Buffalo & Niagara Falls, and Washington. The map is attached at the rear of the original report: "Mr. Aldrich, from the Committee on Transportation Routes to the Seaboard…" The 43 pp. report is dated March 3, 1885 and contains extensive information on shipments in the Untied States to include all forms of commerce. Rare to find this map with the Senate report. The Modelski reference is a similar map with nearly identical title, issued six years later.

Condition: A+

The map is a fine, flawless example with only a short tear at binding side, closed on verso. The disbound report is clean and bright.
