The company's routes are shown in red overprinting and originate in St. Louis and travel westward though Missouri, Kansas and Colorado, while also stretching south into Indian Territory and Arkansas. Other railroads are shown in black line throughout Texas and the west, extending to the Pacific Ocean. There is an index at lower left and an extensive timetable on verso. Self-folding (4.0 x 8.7") into colored wrappers.
