Great map of the state from this scarce railroad atlas. The numerous railroads are delineated and named with red overprinting. Details counties, cities and towns, post offices, and mountains. The watershed is particularly well developed with scores of creeks and rivers named. Also locates military reservations, Indian reservations, and many geographical features important to travel such as buttes, hills, and peaks. A desirable map in terrific condition.
