This small map of the United States highlights various railroad lines extending from east coast ports including Halifax, Boston, New York and Philadelphia to Kansas and the Southwest via the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. State and territory boundaries in the west are in their final configurations, though Dakota is still one large territory. Includes an inset of Britain at bottom left for size comparison. The verso features three panels of German text with title "Amerika" marketing settlement to the rich agricultural lands of southwest Kansas owned by the railroad. Beginning in 1873, the Santa Fe railroad actively and successfully promoted settlement in Kansas among German communities in Europe. We found no past sales records for this map or institutional examples on OCLC.
