"Map of the Union Central Great Trans-Continental Railroad and Its Connections from the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast", Crofutt, George A.

This brochure contains a folding map depicting the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroad from Omaha to Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay. A second, smaller map (7.7 x 4.3") shows the entire United States along with connecting rail lines. Above the two maps are timetables for both railroads and an editorial note. The verso contains three illustrations and numerous transportation-related advertisements. The full sheet with advertisements measures approximately 35 x 12". This map was originally included in one of Crofutt’s tourist guides.
