This very large map of the United States shows the transportation network at the turn of the century.

Cartographically, the eastern half of present-day Oklahoma is still shown as Indian Territory, while the western borders have been finalized. Includes inset maps of Alaska, the Philippines, Hawaii, Central America, Puerto Rico, and Nova Scotia.
