Folding map with timetables and bird's eye view of Cincinnati and another of the magnificent Central Union Station in Cincinnati on verso. Self folds into very decorative Victorian-style covers. The map actually shows the entire United States with the railroad's lines in the Midwest shown in bolder fashion. This nice example is dated October, 1890.
