This uncommon, large scale map shows in great detail the mail routes and railroads of the state. The mail routes name many very small settlements not normally seen on maps of the state. Each route originates from a railhead and some of the routes originate in neighboring states. Above the title is the shield of the Post Office with mounted rider and locomotive in the background.
