A nice pair of Rand McNally maps of the northern United States that prominently depict the lines of the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads. The map of the Northern Pacific Railroad extends from Duluth to Tacoma, with the Oregon Railway highlighted in red. The Union Pacific Railroad map shows a network of rail lines from Omaha and St. Joseph to points west including Sacramento, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The versos contain timetables and advertisements. Self folding.
