This colorful map of the then-Territory of Alaska was created by Frank McCaffrey and published by the Alaska Steamship Company. It displays steamship routes in orange overprinting along with railroad lines, highways, and proposed highway routes. Includes inset maps of southern Alaska and the United States, and is surrounded by a very distinctive totem pole border. The map is housed in its original paper envelope.
