Preface 


To  SATISFY  Americans'  keen  interest  in  the  routes 
of  railroads,  cartographers  have  shown  rail  lines  on 
maps  since  the  first  tracks  were  laid  in  the  United 
States.  There  are  in  the  collections  of  the  Library 
of  Congress  thousands  of  American  railroad  maps 
as  well  as  numerous  general  maps  showing  railroad 
routes  as  part  of  the  transportation  network.  The 
maps,  which  are  in  the  custody  of  the  Geography 
and  Map  Division,  vary  widely  in  area,  content, 
and  scale.  Some  cover  major  segments  of  our 
country  and  depict  the  interrelationship  of  various 
modes  of  transportation.  Others  resemble  con- 
temporary "strip"  road  maps  and  show  only  a 
ribbon  of  land  immediately  adjacent  to  a  specific 
railroad  right-of-way. 

Requests  for  information  are  received  by  the 
Library  of  Congress  from  railroad  enthusiasts 
in  search  of  active  and  abandoned  rail  lines  as 
well  as  from  students  and  scholars  interested  in 
transportation.  In  addition,  increased  interest  in 
rail  transit  has  been  exhibited  by  offices  of  the 
United  States  Congress  and  various  federal 
agencies.  Lynn  Mullins  notes  in  her  1969  publica- 
tion The  Golden  Spike,  A  Centennial  Remembrance,  that 
in  the  literature  about  American  railroads  "there 
is  no  bibliography  specifically  devoted  to  nine- 
teenth-century railroad  maps,  [and,  therefore]  the 
printed  catalogues  of  the  large  map  libraries  must 
be  combed  for  pertinent  references."  Such  refer- 
ences, however,  are  altogether  inadequate,  for 
they  are  too  general  to  include  comprehensive 
subject  or  chronological  approaches.  This  biblio- 
graphy is  designed  to  meet  that  need. 

The  Library's  holdings  include  railroad  maps 
issued  for  a  variety  of  purposes.  Among  the  collec- 
tions   are    official    printed    government    surveys 


conducted  to  determine  the  most  practical  railroad 
routes.  Pacific  Railroad  Surveys,  U.S.  General 
Land  Office  maps  which  show  land  grants  to 
railroads,  surveys  for  specific  rights-of-way,  and 
general  surveys  prepared  to  accompany  progress 
reports  of  individual  railroads.  Other  maps  were 
published  specifically  to  promote  particular  lines, 
some  of  which  were  never  built.  Also  represented 
in  the  collection  are  maps  issued  by  commercial 
publishers,  intended  for  ticket  agents  and  the 
public,  as  route  guides  to  encourage  commerce 
and  travel  to  the  newly  settled  areas  west  of  the 
Mississippi  River. 

This  annotated  list  reveals  the  scope  of  the 
railroad  map  collection  and  highlights  the  develop- 
ment of  railroad  mapping  in  19th-century  America. 
Described  are  622  maps  chosen  from  more  than 
3,000  railroad  maps  and  about  2,000  regional, 
state,  and  county  maps,  and  other  maps  which 
show  "internal  improvements"  of  the  past  century. 

The  maps  selected  represent  a  profile  of  the 
development  of  cartographical  style  and  technique 
and  are  not  intended  to  inventory  all  maps  in  the 
division  which  show  railroads.  The  list  does  reflect, 
however,  the  important  achievements  of  early 
railroaders  in  reaching  their  ultimate  goal  of 
providing  a  transportation  network  spanning  the 
country  and  linking  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific 
Oceans. 

The  list  includes  only  separate  printed  and 
manuscript  maps  preserved  in  the  Geography 
and  Map  Division.  Excluded  are  photocopies, 
facsimiles,  atlases,  and  maps  which  are  included  in 
annual  railroad  company  reports  or  which  illus- 
trate volumes  classed  elsewhere  in  the  Library  of 
Congress.

PREFACE 


The  entries  in  this  bibliography  begin  with 
maps  covering  the  United  States  as  a  whole  or 
large  portions  of  it.  These  are  followed  by  entries 
for  the  five  major  geographical  regions  and  then 
by  maps  of  states,  including  at  least  one  entry 
for  each  of  the  50  states.  The  maps  are  in  chron- 
ological order  within  these  geographical  areas. 
The  list  is  concluded  with  descriptions  of  maps  of 
individual  railroads,  arranged  alphabetically  and 
chronologically.  Where  possible  the  entry  includes 
the  author's  name,  the  full  title  of  the  map,  the 
imprint,  a  notation  if  the  map  is  in  color,  the 
natural  scale,  if  determinable,  and  the  measure- 
ments to  the  nearest  centimeter,  with  vertical 
dimension  first.  A  brief  paragraph  describes  the 
geographical  coverage  of  each  map  and  includes 
its  general  content. 

The  introductory  essay  traces  the  scope  and 
development  of  American  railroad  mapping  from 
its  beginning  in  the  late  1820's  through  the  19th 
century.  A  general  index  provides  names  of  rail- 
roads, subjects,  authors,  surveyors,  engineers, 
cartographers,  engravers,  lithographers,  publishers, 
and  printers. 

The  maps  described,  which  are  all  sharp  and 


legible,  vary  in  size  from  small  fold-out  sketches  to 
large-scale,  detailed  surveys  and  wall  maps 
designed  for  display  in  transportation  and  ticket 
offices.  The  majority  are  in  color. 

Uncolored  photoreproductions  and  color  trans- 
parencies of  maps  in  this  bibliography  may  be 
purchased  from  the  Library  of  Congress,  Photo- 
duplication  Service,  Washington,  D.C.  20540. 
Requests  for  cost  estimates  and  purchase  orders 
should  refer  to  this  bibliography  by  name  and 
cite  the  bibliographic  entry  numbers.  The  des- 
criptive annotations  can  help  in  determining 
whether  a  large  map  is  needed  or  if  a  smaller  one, 
which  can  be  reproduced  more  economically, 
will  provide  the  essential  information.  Maps  are 
most  economically  reproduced  by  the  photostat 
process,  and  this  form  of  reproduction  is  usually 
quoted  in  estimates.  If  reproductions  are  desired 
for  use  in  publications,  8-  by  10-inch  glossy 
photographic  prints  should  be  requested.

Introduction 


American  railroad  mapping  had  its  inception 
early  in  the  19th  century  when  people  began 
moving  inland  over  the  inadequately  charted 
continental  landscape.  The  expanding  frontier, 
the  rich  agricultural  production  of  the  land,  and 
exploitation  of  natural  resources  demanded  im- 
proved methods  of  transport.  The  transportation 
revolution  was  initiated  with  construction  ot 
privately  owned  toll  or  turnpike  roads,  gathered 
momentum  with  the  introduction  of  steamships 
and  canal  building,  and  reached  maturity  in  the 
1830's  with  the  introduction  of  steampowered 
railroads.' 

Soon  after  James  Watt  developed  the  steam 
engine,  the  invention  was  adapted  by  John  Fitch 
in  1787  to  propel  a  ship  on  the  Delaware  and  in 
the  same  year  by  James  Rumsey  on  the  Potomac 
River.  Fitch,  an  American  inventor  and  surveyor, 
had  two  years  earlier  published  his  "Map  of  the 
Northwest"  to  finance  the  building  of  a  commer- 
cial steamboat.  With  Robert  Fulton's  steamboat, 
the  Clermont,  and  a  boat  built  by  John  Stevens,  the 
use  of  steam  power  for  vessels  became  firmly 
established.  Railroads  and  the  use  of  steam  prop- 
ulsion developed  separately,  however,  and  it  was 
not  until  the  two  systems  merged  that  railroads 
began    to   flourish. 

The  use  of  rails  for  heavily  loaded,  wheeled 
vehicles  to  reduce  friction  was  introduced  in 
England  as  early  as  the  17th  century.  The  first 
American  "tramroad"  or  "gravity  road"  was 
erected  in  1764  for  military  purposes  at  the 
Niagara  portage  in  Lewiston,  N.  Y.,  under  the 
direction  of  Capt.  John  Montressor,  a  British 
engineer,  known  to  students  of  historical  carto- 
graphy also  as  a  mapmaker.  A  map  of  the  Leiper 


Railroad  in  Pennsylvania,  dated  October  1,  1809, 
and  signed  by  the  surveyor  John  Tomson,  may 
be  the  first  railroad  survey  in  America.  The 
original  has,  seemingly,  not  survived.  A  re- 
production, entitled  "Draft  Exhibiting.  .  .  the 
Railway  Contemplated  by  John  Leiper  Esq.  From 
His  Stone  Sawmill  and  Quarries  ...  to  His  Land- 
ing on  Ridley  Creek,"  however,  illustrates  Robert 
P.  Robins'  A  Short  Account  oj  the  First  Permanent 
Tramway  in  America  (Philadelphia,  1886).^  The 
first  of  the  commercial  "tramroads"  was  surveyed 
and  constructed  in  1826  at  Quincy,  Mass.,  by 
Gridley  Bryant,  with  the  machinery  for  it  developed 
by  Solomon  Willard.  It  was  to  utilize  horsepower 
to  haul  granite,  needed  for  building  the  Bunker 
Hill  Monument,'  from  the  quarries  at  Quincy, 
four  miles  to  the  wharf  on  the  Neponset  River. 
The  following  year  the  Mauch  Chunk  "gravity 
road,"  used  for  transporting  anthracite  coal,  was 
constructed  in  Pennsylvania.^ 

John  Stevens,  who  shares  credit  with  Fulton  for 
inventing  the  steamboat,  is  considered  to  be  the 
father  of  American  railroads.  In  1826  Stevens 
demonstrated  the  feasibility  of  steam  locomotion  on 
a  circular  experimental  track  constructed  on  his 
estate  in  Hoboken,  N.  J.  Three  years  later  George 
Stephenson  perfected  a  practical  steam  locomotive 
in  England.  The  first  railroad  charter  in  the 
United  States  was  granted  to  Stevens  in  1815.^ 
Grants  to  others  followed,  and  work  soon  began  on 
the  first  operational  railroads.  Surveying  and 
construction  started  on  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio 
in  1830,  and  14  miles  of  track  were  opened  before 
the  year  ended.  (See  entry  332.)  This  roadbed 
was  extended  in  1831  to  Frederick,  Md.,  and,  in 
1832,    to   Point   of  Rocks.    Until    1831,   when   a 


INTRODUCTION 


locomotive  of  American  manufacture  was  placed 
in  service,  the  B  &  O  relied  upon  horsepower. 
Soon  joining  the  B  &  O  as  operating  lines  were 
the  Mohawk  and  Hudson,  opened  in  September 
1830;  the  Saratoga,  opened  in  July  1832;  and  the 
South  Carolina  Canal  and  Rail  Road  Company, 
whose  1 36  miles  of  track,  completed  to  Hamburg, 
constituted  in  1833  the  longest  steam  railroad  in 
the  world.  (See  entry  299.)  The  Columbia  Rail- 
road of  Pennsylvania,  completed  in  1834,  and  the 
Boston  and  Providence,  completed  in  June  1835, 
were  other  early  lines.  (See  entries  1,  348,  and  610.) 
Surveys  for  and  construction  of  tracks  for  these  and 
other  pioneer  railroads  not  only  created  demands 
for  special  mapping  but  also  induced  mapmakers 
to  show  progress  of  surveys  and  completed  lines  on 
general  maps  and  on  maps  in  "travelers  guides." 
(See  entry  5.) 

Publication  of  19th-century  American  railroad 
maps  paralleled  similar  developments  in  Europe. 
British  railroads  were  first  shown  on  a  map  in 
Philippe  Vandermaelen's  Atlas  de  L'Europe,  pub- 
lished in  Brussels  in  two  volumes  between  1829  and 
1833.  In  1835  Robert  Stephenson,  brother  and 
partner  of  George  Stephenson,  drew  one  of  the 
first  English  railroad  survey  maps  for  the  "London 
and  Birmingham  Railway."  Published  in  1838 
were  C.F.  Cheffin's  lithographic  map  of  the  same 
line  at  a  larger  scale  and  J.R.  Jobbins'  lithographic 
maps  of  England  and  Wales  and  of  the  London 
and  Southampton  Railway.  Also  in  1838,  Irish 
railroads  were  depicted  by  Henry  Drury  Harness, 
an  early  statistical  cartographer.^ 

Planning,  surveying  and  mapping,  and  con- 
struction of  railroads  in  America  progressed 
rapidly  and  haphazardly,  without  direction  or 
supervision  from  the  states  that  granted  charters  to 
construct  such  works.  Before  1840  most  surveys 
were  made  for  short  passenger  lines  which  proved 
to  be  financially  unprofitable.  Because  steam- 
powered  railroads  had  stiff  competition  from  canal 
companies,  many  partially  completed  lines  were 
abandoned.  It  was  not  until  the  Boston  and  Lowell 
Railroad  diverted  traffic  from  the  Middlesex 
Canal  that  the  success  of  the  new  mode  of  trans- 
portation was  assured.  (See  entry  346.)  The 
industrial  and  commercial  depression  and  the 
panic  of  1837  slowed  railroad  construction.  In- 
terest was  revived,  however,  with  completion  of  the 
Western  Railroad  in  Massachusetts  in  1843.  This 


line  conclusively  demonstrated  the  feasibility  of 
transporting  agricultural  products  and  other 
commodities  by  rail  for  long  distances  at  low  cost. 
Within  the  next  20  years  railroads  were  playing 
a  dominant  role  in  the  transportation  system  of 
the  country.  In  the  Middle  West  interest  in 
building  railroads  was  strong,  and  many  lines  were 
mapped  and  subsequently  constructed  to  connect 
the  leading  centers  of  commerce.  Interest  also 
increased  in  the  South,  where  natural  waterways 
had  previously  provided  adequate  transportation 
for  commercial  traffic.  By  1850,  when  the  in- 
centive to  survey  and  map  public  works  on  a  large 
scale  was  stimulated  by  the  discovery  of  gold  in 
California,  the  existing  railroad  network  provided 
an  excellent  base  for  a  productive  decade  of 
American  railroad  surveying  and  mapping.' 

The  Civil  War  provided  another  stimulus  for 
railroad  mapping,  because  of  the  strategic  im- 
portance of  rail  transportation  to  the  armies.  (See 
entries  137-143.)  After  the  war,  railroad  builders 
became  aware  of  the  traffic-generating  potentials 
of  the  scenic  wonders  of  the  West.  Jay  Cooke  and 
Company,  financiers  of  the  Northern  Pacific 
Extension  Project,  and  other  promoters,  ac- 
cordingly, lobbied  for  the  establishment  of  Yellow- 
stone National  Park.  To  make  it  accessible  to 
tourists,  they  persuaded  park  promoters  to  support 
completion  of  the  railroad  to  coincide  with  the 
opening  of  the  park  in  1872.  Not  until  1883, 
however,  did  a  rail  spur  extend  to  within  three 
miles  of  the  park.  (See  entries  449-501.)  Other 
railroads  followed  the  lead  in  promoting  estab- 
lishment of  resorts  and  national  parks.*  This 
created  additional  demand  for  maps  to  illustrate 
reports,  promotional  literature,  displays,  and 
timetables  from  the  thousands  of  railroad  and 
promotional  firms  which  sprang  up  in  the  19th 
century.  (See  entries  399  and  400.) 

Technological  advances  in  papermaking  and 
printing  which  permitted  quick  and  inexpensive 
reproduction  of  maps  also  greatly  benefited  rail- 
road cartography.  Before  the  introduction  of  these 
new  techniques,  maps  were  laboriously  engraved, 
in  reverse,  usually  on  copper  plates,  and  printed 
on  hand  presses.  Although  the  results  were  ex- 
cellent, this  was  a  slow  and  costly  process  which 
could  not  keep  pace  with  the  demand  for  railroad 
maps.  Introduction  of  lithography  to  America,  a 
process  invented  in   1798  by  Alois  Senefelder  of

the  proposed  Boston  and  Providence  Railway.  This  is  the 
earliest  topographic  strip  map  in  the  Library  showing  a 
railroad  survey.  These  tines  were  originally  intended  for 
horse-drawn  trains.  {Entry  348)

Bavaria,  came  at  an  opportune  time,  just  as  the 
first  railroad  charter  was  being  granted  in  1815. 
This  invention  revolutionized  map  printing  and 
provided  the  means  for  inexpensive  map  repro- 
duction. Within  two  years  after  William  and  John 
Pendleton  established  the  first  important  litho- 
graphic printing  house  in  Boston  in  1825,  their 
firm  was  printing  railroad  surveys  and  reports  for 
the  earliest  New  England  railroad  companies.' 

Even  after  lithographic  printing  in  map  pro- 
duction became  common,  engraving  continued  in 
use  for  many  years  for  finer  and  more  limited  works. 
As  late  as  1848  Peter  S.  Duval  of  Philadelphia 
engraved  map  plates  of  Virginia  for  Claudius 
Crozet,  principal  engineer  to  the  Commonwealth. 
(See  entry  307.)  Some  firms,  like  G.W.  and  C.B. 
Colton  of  New  York,  used  copper  plates  through 
the  1860's  and  1870's.  Others  utilized  both 
reproduction  methods,  and  in  some  instances 
"engraving"  was  done  on  stone.  (See  entries  92, 
124,  126,  174,  and  396.)  Technical  advances 
were  quickly  adapted  to  map  printing.  The 
transfer  process  eliminated  most  of  the  laborious 
procedure  of  drawing  on  stone  in  reverse.  By  the 
use  of  specially  prepared  paper  and  ink,  an  il- 
lustration or  a  newly  drawn  map  could  be  trans- 
ferred directly  to  a  stone  or  a  zinc  plate.  The 
use  of  "zincography"  in  America  as  early  as  1849 
is  credited  to  P.S.  Duval's  Swiss  shop  foreman, 
Frederick  Bourquin.  Zinc  plates  were  adaptable 


to  the  rotary  steampower  press,  which  was  first 
installed  by  Duval  in  his  Philadelphia  lithographic 
establishment.""  (See  entries  81,  600,  and  601.) 

Another  important  printing  process,  cerography 
or  wax  engraving,  was  introduced  in  America  by 
Sidney  Edwards  Morse,  whose  father  Jedidiah 
Morse  published  in  1784  the  first  geography  book 
in  the  United  States,  Geography  Made  Easy.  The 
process  was  first  used  in  1839  for  Morse's  "Cero- 
graphic  Map  of  Connecticut,"  and  in  1842,  for 
the  Cerographic  Atlas  of  the  United  States.  This  was 
an  ingenious  method  of  making  a  mold  from 
which  a  printing  plate  was  cast.  On  a  thin  layer  of 
wax  applied  to  a  copper  plate,  lines  and  symbols, 
and  later  type,  were  inscribed  or  impressed. 
Through  an  electroplating  process,  a  relief  mold 
was  produced  from  which  single  sheet  maps  were 
printed.  The  process  was  kept  secret  by  Morse.  It 
became  more  widely  utilized  after  Rand  McNally 
introduced  its  wax  engraving  process  in  1872.  From 
the  1870's  through  the  first  four  decades  of  the  20th 
century,  this  method  of  printing  became  popular 
with  large  map  printing  houses  in  the  United 
States.  The  firm  of  George  F.  Cram  and  Company, 
well  known  for  its  railroad  maps  and  other  geo- 
graphic publications,  adopted  the  process  in  the 
1880's  with  introduction  of  its  Universal  Family 
Atlas  oj  the  World.  Matthews-Northrup  and  Com- 
pany also  utilized  this  method  for  printing  their 
numerous    railroad    maps.    Multicolor    printing.

the  development  of  photolithography,  and  the 
offset  press  further  accelerated  railroad  map 
production  and  greatly  reduced  prices." 

Color  lithography  to  distinguish  regions  and 
administrative  divisions  on  maps  was  introduced  as 
early  as  the  1850's.  (See  entry  86.)  Color  to  ac- 
centuate the  many  lines  of  intricate  railroad 
networks,  however,  continued  to  be  manually 
applied  to  many  maps  at  the  end  of  the  century, 
including  Rand  McNally's  elephant-sized  maps 
of  the  1890's,  which  are  discussed  in  detail  at  the 
end  of  this  essay. 

To  fill  requests  for  special-purpose  maps,  the 
new  printing  methods  contributed  greatly  to  the 
volume  and  variety  of  railroad  maps.  This  is 
reflected  in  the  Library's  large  and  comprehen- 
sive collection  of  American  railroad  maps,  the 
majority  of  which  were  acquired  through  copyright 
deposits  following  the  passage  of  the  Copyright 
Law  in  1870.  Earlier  maps,  many  detached  from 
pamphlets,  journals,  timetables,  and  annual  reports 
of  the  companies,  were  acquired  as  gifts  and  by 
purchase.  Many  railroad  maps  were  among  the 
cartographic  items  which  constituted  the  Library's 
collection  when  a  separate  Map  Division  was 
formed  in  1897.  These  are  listed  in  Philip  Lee 
Phillips'  A  List  of  Maps  of  America  in  the  Library  of 
Congress  (Washington,  Govt.  Print.  Off.,  1901). 

A  large  segment  of  commercially  produced 
railroad  maps,  perhaps  as  much  as  30  percent,  was 
deposited  by  the  New  York  City  publishing  house 
established  in  1831  by  Joseph  Hutchins  Col  ton. 
This  firm  was  known  the  world  over  for  the  quality, 
quantity,  and  variety  of  its  publications,  including 
maps,  atlases,  and  school  geographies."  Henry 
Varnum  Poor,  in  the  introduction  to  his  History 
of  the  Railroads  and  Canals  of  the  United  States 
of  America  (1860),  commends  the  series  of  Col- 
ton's  railroad  maps  which  illustrate  his  work. 
"All  the  maps,"  Poor  wrote,  "are  drawn  and 
engraved  under  the  supervision  of  G.  Woolworth 
Colton,  Esq.,  whose  diligence,  accuracy  and 
extensive  information  are  sufficient  guarantee  for 
their  correctness.""  Indeed,  Colton's  maps  from 
the  early  1850's  to  the  last  decade  of  the  century, 
most  of  which  were  subtitled  "Colton's  Railroad 
and  Township  Map,"  surpassed  in  quality  and 
quantity  other  maps  published  in  the  19th  century. 
Other  reputable  map  publishing  firms  of  the 
period  include  Asher   &   Adams  of  New   York, 


James  T.  Lloyd  and  Company  of  New  York  and 
London,  Matthews-Northrup  and  Company  and 
J.  Sage  and  Sons  of  Buffalo,  Gaylord  Watson  of 
New  York  and  Chicago,  and  later  in  the  century, 
the  Chicago  firms  of  Rand  McNally  and  George  F. 
Cram.  The  last  two  are  still  in  the  map  business. 

Other  maps  among  the  more  than  5,000  rail- 
road maps  in  the  Geography  and  Map  Division 
include  progress  report  surveys  for  individual 
lines,  official  government  surveys,  promotional 
maps  (some  of  which,  such  as  entry  425,  were 
geographically  distorted  to  exaggerate  the  size  and 
routes  of  one  line).  Pacific  Railroad  Surveys,  maps 
that  show  the  extent  of  railroad  land  grants,  maps 
locating  rights-of-way,  and  route  guides  published 
by  commercial  firms.  Some  railroad  maps  cover  the 
entire  country  or  large  portions  of  it  and  show  the 
entire  railroad  network.  Others  are  limited  to  a 
specific  railroad  or  show  one  survey  line,  often 
with  adjacent  connections.  Numerous  maps  show 
rail  lines  within  one  state,  county,  or  geographic 
region.  These  and  many  other  general  maps,  the 
U.S.  Post  Office's  "Post  Route  Maps,"  and  the 
earlier  editions  of  the  large-scale,  topographical 
quadrangle  maps,  published  by  the  U.S.  Geo- 
logical Survey  since  its  establishment  in  1879  but 
not  listed  here,  provide  excellent  source  material 
for  the  search  of  abandoned  railroad  lines. 

In  the  Library's  collections  are  maps  from  the 
earliest  era  of  railroad  mapmaking,  Henry  Schenck 
Tanner's  "Map  of  the  Canals  &  Rail  Roads  of  the 
United  States,"  dated  1830,  is  an  early  general 
map,  depicting  "working  lines"  on  the  eastern 
seaboard  and  in  Kentucky,  Alabama,  and  Louis- 
iana. Located  on  the  map  are  routes  of  the  Colum- 
bia Railroad  in  Pennsylvania  and  the  B  &  O  in 
Maryland.  (See  entry  1.)  In  his  1829  Memoir  on  the 
Recent  Surveys,  Observations  and  Internal  Improvements 
in  the  United  States  Tanner  lists  "Brief  Notices"  on 
"Rail  Roads  Never  Before  Delineated."  He  notes 
that  in  New  England  "some  spirited  individuals 
have  adopted  legislative  measures  to  ensure  an 
early  completion  for  the  Boston  and  Providence 
Railroad,  whose  surveys  have  been  completed."'* 
The  Boston  and  Providence  is  the  earliest  line 
represented  by  a  printed  survey  from  a  progress 
report  in  the  Library's  map  collections.  (See 
entry  348.)  The  map,  dated  January  1828,  shows 
proposed  lines  of  a  survey  two  and  a  half  years 
before  the  railroad  was  chartered  in  June  1831."

It  illustrated  the  Massachusetts  Board  of  Com- 
missioners of  Internal  Improvements'  Report  in 
Relation  to  the  Examination  of  .Sundry  Routes  for  a 
Railway  from  Boston  to  Providence;  with  a  Memoir  of 
the  Survey  (Boston,  Button  &  Wentworth,  printers 
to  the  state,  1828).  It  is  also  interesting  to  note  that 
in  the  report  the  commissioners  believed  "that 
horse  power  will  be  most  expedient  for  application 
to  the  uses  of  this  road."  The  report  is  the  one 
referred  to  by  Tanner  in  the  above  cited  Memoir. 
This  map  is  one  of  the  very  first  products  of  George 
G.  Smith  and  William  B.  Annin,  who  in  1828 
established  a  printing  firm  bearing  the  name  of  the 
inventor  of  lithography,  the  Senefelder  Litho- 
graphy Company  of  Boston.  The  firm  was  taken 
over  by  the  Pendletons  in  1830.'* 

The  collections  also  include  examples  of  original 
manuscript  railroad  maps,  among  which  are 
several  prepared  by  the  Confederate  engineer, 
Maj.  Jedediah  Hotchkiss.  The  Hotchkiss  Map 
Collection  was  acquired  by  the  Library  in  1948." 
Another  noteworthy  manuscript  map,  drawn  in 
1843,  is  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad  Com- 
pany's "Map  of  the  Country  West  of  Cumberland," 
referred  to  in  the  Report  of  the  Chief  Engineer  of 
September  20th,  1843.  This  large  map,  at  the  scale  of 
1:316,800  and  approximately  2  3^  X  4  feet  in 
size,  is  hand  colored  on  tracing  linen.  It  embraces 
western  Pennsylvania,  western  Maryland,  parts  of 
Virginia  and  West  Virginia  and  most  of  Ohio  and 
indicates  several  "preferred"  and  "surveyed" 
lines  to  Wheeling  and  Pittsburgh  as  well  as  other 
possible  northern  and  southern  routes  in  the  area. 
(See  entry  335.) 

One  of  the  earliest  printed  government  surveys 
was  "drawn  from  the  original  plot"  by  Lt.  Andrew 
Atkinson  Humphreys,  who  as  chief  of  the  Office 
of  Western  Explorations  and  Surveys  some  years 
later  supervised  the  making  of  the  maps  for  the 
Pacific  Railroad  Surveys,  including  G.K.  Warren's 
monumental  map  of  the  transmississippi  west.'^ 
(See  entry  174.)  Humphrey's  "Map  of  the  Routes 
Examined  and  Surveyed  for  the  Winchester  and 
Potomac  Rail  Road,  State  of  Virginia,  Under  the 
Direction  of  Capt.  J.D.  Graham,  U.S.  Top.  Eng., 
1831  and  1832,"  was  based  on  surveys  by  Lts. 
A.D.  Mackay  and  E.  French  in  1831  and  Lts. 
French  and  J.F.  Izard  in  1832.  The  map  was 
published  to  accompany  the  "Documents  con- 
cerning   Winchester    and     Potomac    Railroad," 


24th  Congress,  2d  Session,  House  Document  465. 
This  topographic  map,  submitted  to  the  Bureau  of 
Topographical  Engineers  in  1832,  shows  surveys 
in  strips  along  the  projected  railroad  routes  and 
identifies  property  owners.  It  covers  the  country 
between  the  Shenandoah  and  Potomac  Rivers  as 
far  as  Winchester,  Va.  A  table  lists  the  surveyed 
routes.  This  line,  constructed  to  connect  with 
the  B  &  O  at  Harpers  Ferry,  was  designed  to 
divert  Shenandoah  Valley  wheat  from  the  city 
of  Alexandria  and  stimulate  the  growth  of  Balti- 
more. Completion  of  the  line  in  1836  greatly 
contributed  to  the  decline  of  Alexandria.  (See 
entry  619.) 

Also  in  1832,  the  Orange  and  Alexandria 
Railroad  Company  was  chartered.  It  was  not 
until  1848,  however,  that  this  company  was 
organized  to  recover  for  the  city  of  Alexandria 
some  of  the  trade  previously  lost  to  Baltimore  and 
Richmond.  Construction  on  the  line  began  in 
1850  and  was  completed  to  Culpeper  by  1852  and 
to  Gordonsville  in  1854.  At  the  latter  town  the 
line  had  a  junction  with  the  Virginia  Central 
Railroad,  and  Warrenton  was  linked  by  a  branch 
line  in  1853.  The  Manassas  Gap  Railroad,  the 
first  to  cross  the  Blue  Ridge  Mountains  (see 
entry  453),  was  completed  to  Strasburg  in  1854 
to  join  Alexandria  with  the  upper  Piedmont 
Valley."  Detailed  descriptions  of  three  original 
surveys  were  published  in  the  Proceedings  of  the 
Called  Meeting  of  the  Stockholders  of  the  Orange  and 
Alexandria  Railroad  Company,  December,  1849.  The 
routes  on  the  maps  generally  follow  the  survey 
lines  as  reported  by  Chief  Engineer  Thomas  C. 
Atkinson  at  the  fifth  annual  meeting  of  the  stock- 
holders, held  in  Alexandria,  October  24,  1854.  No 
map  is  appended  to  the  report,  but  in  the  Geo- 
graphy and  Map  Division  there  is  a  "Map  and 
Profile  of  the  Orange  and  Alexandria  Railroad 
with  its  Warrenton  Branch  and  a  Portion  of  the 
Manassas  Gap  Railroad,"  which  was  drawn  by 
August  Faul  and  printed  about  1854  by  Ackerman 
Lithography  of  New  York.  This  map,  annotated  to 
show  geological  structures  along  the  route  of  the 
railroad,  is  an  example  of  the  general  survey  maps 
prepared  to  illustrate  progress  reports  of  individual 
railroads,  as  well  as  of  specific  right-of-way  surveys.

INTRODUCTION 


grant  to  the  Illinois  Central  Railroad,  indirect 
federal  subsidies  were  provided  by  route  surveys 
made  by  army  engineers.  In  the  1824  General 
Survey  Bill  to  establish  works  of  internal  improve- 
ments, railroads  were  not  specifically  mentioned. 
Part  of  the  appropriation  under  this  act  for  the 
succeeding  year,  however,  was  used  for  "Examin- 
ations and  surveys  to  ascertain  the  practicability 
of  uniting  the  headwaters  of  the  Kanawha  with 
the  James  river  and  the  Roanoke  river,  by  Canals 
or  Rail-Roads."^"  In  his  Congressional  History  of 
Railways,  Lewis  H.  Haney  credits  these  surveys  as 
being  the  first  to  recieve  federal  aid.  He  notes  that 
such  grants  to  states  and  corporations  for  railway 
surveys  became  routine  before  the  act  was  repealed 
in    1838. 

The  earliest  printed  map  in  the  collections,  based 
on  government  surveys  conducted  for  a  state- 
owned  railroad,  is  "Map  of  the  Country  Em- 
bracing the  Various  Routes  Surveyed  for  the 
Western  &  Atlantic  Rail  Road  of  Georgia,  1837." 
(See  entry  613.)  The  surveys  were  made  under 
the  direction  of  Lt.  Col.  Stephen  H.  Long,  chief 
engineer,  who  10  years  earlier  had  surveyed  the 
routes  for  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio,^'  (See  entry 
332.)  Work  on  the  138-mile  Georgia  route  from 
Atlanta  to  Chattanooga  started  in  1841,  and  by 
1850  the  line  was  open  to  traffic.  Its  strategic 
location  made  it  a  key  supply  route  for  the  Con- 
federacy. It  was  on  this  line  that  the  famous 
"Andrews  Raid"  of  April  1862  occurred  when 
Union  soldiers  disguised  as  railroad  employees 
captured  the  locomotive  known  as  the  "General. "^^ 
(See  entry  614.) 

The  possibility  of  railroads  connecting  the 
Atlantic  and  Pacific  coasts  was  discussed  in 
Congress  even  before  the  treaty  with  England 
which  settled  the  "Oregon  Question"  in  1846.2' 
Chief  promoter  of  a  transcontinental  railroad 
was  Asa  Whitney,  a  New  York  merchant  active 
in  the  China  trade,  whose  obsession  was  a  railroad 
to  the  Pacific.  In  January  1845  he  petitioned 
Congress  for  a  charter  and  a  grant  of  a  60-mile 
strip  through  the  public  domain  to  help  finance 
construction."  Whitney  suggested  the  use  of 
Irish  and  German  immigrant  labor  which  was  at 
the  time  in  great  abundance.  Wages  were  to  be 
paid  in  land,  and  the  workers  were  thus  to  become 
settlers  along  the  route  and,  subsequently,  patrons 
and  suppliers  for  the  completed  line.  Failure  of 


Congress  to  act  on  his  proposal  was  mainly  due 
to  the  vigorous  opposition  of  Senator  Thomas 
Hart  Benton  of  Missouri,  who  favored  a  western 
route  originating  at  St.  Louis. 

In  1849  Whitney  published  a  booklet  to  pro- 
mote his  Project  for  a  Railroad  to  the  Pacific.  It  was 
accompanied  by  an  untitled  outline  map  of  North 
America  which  shows  the  route  of  his  railroad  from 
Prairie  du  Chien,  Wis.,  across  the  Rocky  Moun- 
tains north  of  South  Pass.  An  alternate  route  to 
the  south  of  the  pass  joined  the  main  line  at  the 
Salmon  River  and  continued  to  Puget  Sound. 
Proposed  lines  also  extended  from  St.  Louis  to 
San  Francisco  and  from  Independence,  Mo.  to 
New  Mexico  and  the  Arkansas  River.  This  is  one 
of  the  earliest  promotional  maps  submitted  to 
Congress  and  was,  according  to  its  author,  con- 
ceived as  early  as  1830.^^  (See  entry  14.) 

Although  Congress  failed  to  sanction  his  plan, 
Whitney  made  the  Pacific  railroad  one  of  the  great 
public  issues  of  the  day.  The  acquisition  of  Cali- 
fornia following  the  Mexican  War  opened  the  way 
for  other  routes  to  the  coast.  Discovery  of  gold,  the 
expanding  frontier,  and  success  of  the  eastern 
railroads  increased  interest  in  building  a  railroad 
to  the  Pacific.^'  Railroads  were  also  needed  in  the 
West  to  provide  better  postal  service,  as  had  been 
developed  in  the  East  in  1838  by  designating 
railroad  lines  "post  roads."  Strengthened  by 
other  proposals,  including  those  of  Hartwell 
Carver  in  1849  and  of  Edwin  F.  Johnson  in  1853 
(see  entry  24),  such  leading  statesmen  as  John  C. 
Calhoun,  Stephen  A.  Douglas,  and  Jefferson 
Davis  declared  their  support  for  linking  the  coun- 
try by  rails.  The  lawmakers,  however,  could  not 
agree  on  an  eastern  terminus  and  they  did  not 
comprehend  the  merits  of  the  several  routes  west. 
To  remedy  this  situation  money  was  appropriated 
in  1853  for  the  Army  Topographical  Corps  "to 
ascertain  the  most  practicable  and  economical 
route  for  a  railroad  from  the  Mississippi  River  to 
the  Pacific  Ocean." 

Under  the  provisions  of  the  Army  Appropriation 
Act  of  March  1853,  Secretary  of  War  Jefferson 
Davis  was  directed  to  survey  possible  routes  to  the 
Pacific.  Five  selected  routes,  roughly  following 
specific  parallels,  were  to  be  surveyed  by  parties 
under  the  supervision  of  the  Topographical  Corps. 
The  most  northerly  survey,  between  the  47th  and 
49th  parallels,  was  under  the  direction  of  Isaac

The  ill-fated  party  under  Capt.  John  W. 
Gunnison  was  to  explore  the  route  along  the  38th 
and  39th  parallels,  or  the  Cochetopa  Pass  route, 
advocated  by  Senator  Benton.  Because  he  failed  to 
get  John  Charles  Fr6mont  appointed  to  head  this 
expedition,  Benton  promoted  two  well-publicized, 
privately  financed  ventures  in  the  same  year,  one 
headed  by  Edward  F.  Beale  and  the  other  by 
Fremont.  After  Gunnison's  death  at  the  hands  of 
hostile  Indians,  Lt.  Edward  G.  Beckwith  continued

the  survey  along  the  41st  parallel.  Capt.  Amiel  W. 
Whipple,  assistant  astronomer  of  the  Mexican 
Boundary  Survey,  and  Lt.  Joseph  Christmas  Ives 
surveyed  the  routes  of  the  35th  parallel,  westward 
to  southern  California.  This  was  essentially  the 
route  traversed  by  Josiah  Gregg  in  1839  and  later 
surveyed  by  Col.  John  J.  Abert.  When  the  results 
of  the  surveys  were  analyzed  it  was  apparent  that 
additional  data  on  the  roadbeds,  grades,  and 
passes  were  needed  for  the  32d  parallel  route  to 
California.  Lt.  John  G.  Parke  resurveyed  along  the 
Gila  River  between  the  Pima  villages  and  the 
Rio    Grande.    Capt.    John    Pope    mapped    the

INTRODUCTION 


eastern  portion  of  the  route  from  Dona  Ana,  N. 
Mex.,  to  the  Red  River.  Topographical  surveys 
to  locate  passes  through  the  Sierra  Nevadas  and 
the  Coast  Range  in  California  and  to  determine 
the  route  that  would  connect  California,  Oregon, 
and  Washington  were  made  under  the  direction  of 
Lt.  Robert  S.  Williamson.  "  (See  entries  146-174.) 

These  surveys  showed  that  a  railroad  could 
follow  any  one  of  the  five  routes  and  that  the  32d 
parallel  route  was  the  least  expensive.  The  South- 
ern Pacific  Railroad  was  subsequently  built  along 
this  parallel.  (See  entry  567.)  The  southern  routes 
were  objectionable  to  northern  politicians  and  the 
northern  routes  were  objectionable  to  the  southern 
politicians,  but  the  surveys  could  not,  of  course, 
resolve  these  sectional  issues.  The  surveys  contrib- 
uted greatly,  however,  to  the  geographical  know- 
ledge of  the  American  West  and  provided  source 
materials  for  making  detailed  railroad  and  general 
maps. 

Just  as  the  earliest  railroad  surveys  in  the  East  in 
the  1830's  influenced  mapping  activities,  the 
great  amount  of  data  derived  from  the  Pacific 
surveys  similarly  stimulated  cartographic  activi- 
ties. The  wealth  of  data  used  in  compiling  22 
large  individual  maps  published  with  the  13 
handsomely  illustrated  volumes  of  the  Pacific 
Railroad  Surveys,  ^*  was  the  basic  source  material  for 
Lt.  Gouverneur  Kemble  Warren's  "Map  of  the 
Territory  of  the  United  States  from  the  Missis- 
sippi River  to  the  Pacific  Ocean."  (See  entry  174.) 
With  Warren's  map  the  work  of  the  Topographical 
Engineers  on  the  preliminary  Pacific  surveys  came 
to  an  end.^' 

Because  of  the  accelerating  flow  of  new  infor- 
mation, Warren  recognized,  in  his  Memoir  to 
Accompany  the  Map,  the  difficulty  of  keeping  such 
a  map  up  to  date.  He  stated  that  "the  work  of 
compilation  .  .  .  must  necessarily  be  frequently 
repeated;  and  to  aid  the  future  compiler,  I  have 
prepared  the  accompanying  memoir  upon  the 
different  maps  and  books  used,  and  upon  the 
manner  in  which  their  discrepancies  have  been 
resolved."  He  gratefully  acknowledged  the  work 
of  Edward  Freyhold  in  "the  beautiful  execution 
of  the  topography  upon  the  map.  .  .  ."  The  first 
revision  of  the  map,  drawn  by  Freyhold,  was 
engraved  on  stone  by  Julius  Bien  of  New  York. 
Described  under  entry  1 74,  the  map  is  in  President 
Millard   Fillmore's  collection  and   bears  his  sig- 


nature and  the  date  December  19,  1863.  This 
map,  like  the  first  edition,  lists  45  major  surveys 
and  mapping  reports  from  the  time  of  Lewis  and 
Clark  to  the  General  Land  Office  Surveys  of  the 
late  1850's. 

While  sectional  issues  and  disagreements  were 
debated  in  the  late  1850's,  no  action  was  forth- 
coming from  Congress  on  the  Pacific  railroad 
question.  Theodore  D.  Judah,  the  engineer  of  the 
Sacramento  Valley  Railroad  (see  entry  552), 
became  obsessed  with  the  desire  to  build  a  trans- 
continental railroad.  In  1860  he  approached 
Leland  Stanford,  Collis  P.  Huntington,  Mark 
Hopkins,  and  Charles  Crocker,  leading  Sacramento 
merchants,  and  soon  convinced  them  that  building 
a  transcontinental  line  would  make  them  rich  and 
famous.  The  prospect  of  tapping  the  wealth  of 
the  Nevada  mining  towns  and  forthcoming 
legislation  for  federal  aid  to  railroads  stimulated 
them  to  incorporate  the  Central  Pacific  Railroad 
Company  of  California.  This  line  later  merged 
with  the  Southern  Pacific.  (See  entry  567.)  It 
was  through  Judah's  efforts  and  the  support  of 
Abraham  Lincoln,  who  saw  military  benefits  in 
the  lines  as  well  as  the  bonding  of  the  Pacific  coast 
to  the  Union,  that  the  Pacific  railroad  finally 
became  a  reality.  The  Railroad  Act  of  1862  put 
government  support  behind  the  transcontinental 
railroad  and  helped  create  the  Union  Pacific 
Railroad  (see  entry  588),  which  subsequently 
joined  with  the  Central  Pacific  at  Promontory, 
Utah,  on  May  10,  1869,  and  signaled  the  linking 
of  the  continent. 

The  second  half  of  the  19th  century  was  the 
era  of  railroad  land  grants.  Between  1850  and  1872 
extensive  cessions  of  public  lands  were  made  to 
states  and  to  railroad  companies  to  promote 
railroad  construction.'"  In  general,  the  companies 
received  from  the  federal  government,  in  20-  or 
50-mile  strips,  usually  20  alternate  sections  of 
public  land  for  each  mile  of  track  that  was  built. 
Responsibility  for  surveying  and  mapping  the 
grants  fell  to  the  U.S.  General  Land  Office,  now 
the  Bureau  of  Land  Management.  Numerous 
maps  of  the  United  States  and  individual  states 
and  counties  were  made  which  clearly  indicated 
the  sections  of  the  granted  land  and  the  railroad 
rights-of-way.  The  maps  recorded  the  progress  of 
the  surveys  in  the  public  domain  and  usually 
indicated    major    drainage,    relief    by    hachures,

Typical  of  the  land-grant  maps  is  a  "Map 
Showing  the  Location  of  the  Road  and  the  Land 
Grant  of  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  R.R.  in  New 
Mexico,"  published  in  1883.  Sometimes  called  the 
35th  parallel  road,  this  railroad  was  created  by 
an  Act  of  Congress,  approved  July  27,  1866.  The 
total  grant  amounted  to  some  42  million  acres  for 
a  line  from  Springfield,  Mo.  to  the  Pacific  coast,  a 
distance  of  about  2,000  miles.  (See  entry  329.)  The 
"Map  of  Franklin  County,  Arkansas;  Showing 
the  Land  Grant  of  the  Little  Rock  &  Fort  Smith 
Railway,"  published  in  1893,  shows  how  much 
land  was  still  owned  by  one  railroad  in  one  county 
some  20  years  after  the  era  of  land  grants.  (Com- 
pare entries  443  and  444.)  Land-grant  maps,  which 
were  published  for  many  years,  were  frequently 
used  by  land  speculators  to  advertise  railroad 
lands  for  sale  to  the  public.  As  early  as  1868  most 
western  railroads  established  profitable  land  de- 
partments and  bureaus  of  immigration,  with 
offices  in  Europe,  to  sell  land  and  promote  foreign 
settlement  in  the  western  United  States.  Con- 
sequently the  Library's  collections  also  include 
some  foreign-language  maps  aimed  at  both  the 
immigrant  already  on  the  eastern  coast  and  the 
prospective  one  in  Europe  (see  entries  177a  and 
330)  and  may  have  led  to  the  distortion  of  rail- 
road maps  to  emphasize  one  state,  area,  or  line 
to  the  advantage  of  the  advertiser.  This  idea, 
derived  from  the  government  land-grant  maps, 
may  have  been  perpetuated  by  the  mapping  of 
the  Illinois  Central  Railroad  after  it  was  granted 
land  along  its  path  in  1850.  In  John  W.  Amerman's 
book  entitled  The  Illinois  Central  Rail-Road  Com- 
pany Offers  for  Sale  Over  2,000,000  Acres  Selected 
Farming  and  Wood  Land  (New  York,  1856)  appears 
an  "Outline  Map  of  Illinois"  which  emphasizes 
the  Illinois  Central  Railroad  by  a  heavy  black 
line,  with  stations  interspersed  evenly  along  the 
line  to  give  the  illusion  of  proximity  of  populated 
places  along  the  line.  Another  example  of  a 
distorted  map  is  Josiah  Hunt's  advertising  map  of 
the  Hannibal  and  St.  Joseph  Railway  published 
in  1863  (see  entry  425),  which  emphasized  its 
line  by  a  symmetrical  strip  and  heavy  black  line 
between  Hannibal  and  St.  Joseph,  Mo.  This 
practice  of  manipulating  scale,  area,  and  paths  of 
railroads  became  common  practice  in  advertising

maps  of  the  1870's  and  early  1880's  (see  entry  378) 
and  in  railroad  timetables. 

The  geographic  inaccuracy  in  railroad  maps  led 
George  H.  Heafford,  general  passenger  agent 
for  the  Missouri  Pacific,  to  note  in  1878  that,  "If 
this  World  could  be  made  over  according  to  some 
of  our  ideas,  I  have  not  the  faintest  doubt  but 
that  the  railroads  we  represent  would  all  be  the 
straightest  and  shortest  lines  between  every 
prominent  city  in  the  country.'!"  An  1879  Rand 
McNally  booklet  confirms  that 

map  'designing'  to  other  than  a  railroad  official,  might  seem 
a  peculiar  phrase,  but  the  majority  of  railroad  maps  have 
some  'peculiar  designs'  hidden  under  the  careful  pencil  of 
the  draughtsman.  It  requires  a  faculty  only  aquired  by 
experience  and  a  perfect  knowledge  of  the  railroad  system 
of  the  country,  to  'design'  a  good  railroad  advertising  map.

INTRODUCTION 


The  various  friendly  interests  must  be  shown  to  best  advant- 
age, and  the  rival  interests  disposed  of  in  a  manner  that 
'no  fellow  can  find  out.'  The  drawing  of  a  good  map  is  a 
matter  of  considerable  difficulty,  but  the  'designing'  of  a 
good  map  involves  the  exercise  of  tact  and  ingenuity. 
Probably  more  original  map  projections  have  been  made  in 
our  map  drawing  room  than  have  ever  been  produced  in 
the  United  States.  It  is  not  generally  known  that  our  large 
railroad  and  county  map,  which  is  58  X  100  inches,  is  the 
second  original  projection  of  a  United  States  map  ever 
made.  Our  United  States  and  Canada  Atlas  is  made  from 
the  same  projection.'* 

This  statement,  however,  does  not  seem  appli- 
cable to  the  large  and  detailed  map  of  1876  which 
indicates  drainage,  relief  by  hachures,  inter- 
national, state  and  county  boundaries,  cities  and 
towns,  railroad  stations,  canals,  roads,  trails,  a 
comprehensive  railroad  network,  and  railroads 
under  construction.  A  note  on  the  map  states:  "The 
entire  map  is  printed  from  electrotype  plates, 
sections  of  which  can  be  used  for  special  railroad 
maps,  publishers  premium  maps,  maps  to  accom- 
pany reports,  pamphlets  .  .  .  and  for  various 
advertising  purposes." 

Warren's  large  map  incorporating  the  Pacific 
railroad  surveys  was  heavily  used  by  such  commer- 
cial publishers  as  Joseph  H.  Colton  to  revise 
their  maps.  (See  entry  147a.)  A  beautifully  exe- 
cuted commercial  guide  map  which  drew  upon 
the  Pacific  railroad  surveys  is  entitled  "Map  of  the 
United  States  West  of  the  Mississippi  Showing  the 
Routes  to  Pike's  Peak,  Overland  Mail  Route  to 
California  and  Pacific  Rail  Road  Surveys."  The 
map,  published  in  1859,  is  accompanied  by  a 
seven-page  booklet  which  describes  the  Overland 
Mail  Route.  In  his  Mapping  the  Transmississippi 
West,  Carl  I.  Wheat  calls  this  "the  best  designed 
map  that  appeared  in  this  era,  [which]  is  notable 
for  its  clarity."  (See  entry  176.) 

Following  the  consolidation  and  rapid  growth 
of  American  railroads  after  the  panic  of  1873, 
many  commercial  maps  were  produced  to  show 
the  spreading  network.  One  company  signaled  its 
emergence  into  this  field  by  announcing,  in  Janu- 
ary   1873,    that 

the  house  of  Rand,  McNally  &  Co.,  beg  leave  to  inform 
their  railroad  friends,  and  the  patrons  of  the  [Railway] 
Guide  generally,  that  they  have  lately  made  extensive 
additions  to  their  engraving  department,  and  are  now 
prepared  to  execute  Map  and  all  kinds  of  Relief  Plate 
Engraving  in  the  very  highest  style  of  the  art.  The  maps  of 
the  vicinity  of  Boston,  Baltimore  and  Washington,  and  the 
Engraving  on  opposite  page,  are  given  in  this  number  of  the 


Guide,  as  specimens  of  Engraving  for  ordinary  printing. 
The  perfect  clearness  with  which  these  maps  are  shown  to 
be  printed  is  a  guarantee  of  the  class  of  work  turned  out." 


Rand  McNally's  output  in  the  late  19th  century 
rivaled  the  volume  of  maps,  guides,  illustrated 
timetables,  and  atlases  produced  by  Colton.  In  1858 
William  H.  Rand,  a  native  of  Boston,  established 
a  printing  office  in  Chicago  and  employed  as  a 
printer  Andrew  McNally.  By  1868  Rand  and 
McNally  had  formed  a  partnership  which  soon 
acquired  a  reputation  as  specialists  in  railroad 
printing.  In  1871  they  introduced  the  Rand  Mc-

INTRODUCTION 

Nally  Railway  Guide.  Less  than  a  year  after  their 
business  was  destroyed  in  the  1871  Chicago  fire, 
the  company's  first  two  maps  appeared  in  the 
December  1872  issue  of  the  Guide.  In  response  to 
the  need  by  the  railroads  for  maps  in  timetables 
and  other  publications,  Rand  and  McNally  opened 
a  map  department  in  late  1872.  With  adoption  of 
the  wax  engraving  process,  followed  in  May  1873 
by  the  employment  of  a  color  printing  process. 
Rand  McNally's  reputation  as  one  of  the  world's 
leading  commercial  mapmakers  was  established.''' 
A  typical  early  Rand  McNally  map  published  in 
1874  shows  the  lines  of  the  "Chicago,  Milwaukee  & 


11 


St.  Paul  Railway."  (See  entry  378.)  In  the  borders 
of  the  map  are  picturesque  scenes  of  the  country 
traversed  by  the  railroad,  as  well  as  a  list  of 
railroad  stations  in  the  Middle  West.  On  the 
verso  are  timetables  and  ticket  information  and  a 
small  "Map  of  the  Business  District  of  Chicago" 
which  locates  railroad  depots.  A  major  accom- 
plishment of  this  firm  was  publication  in  1876  of 
their  "New   Railroad   and   County   Map   of  the 

Portion  of  Rand  McNally's  detailed,  wax-engraved  rail- 
road map  published  in  1876.  This  map  was  used  as  the 
basis  Jor  their  famous  commercial  atlas  series  now  in  its 
105th  edition.  (..Entry  59)

United  States  and  Canada.  Compiled  from 
Latest  Government  Surveys,  and  Drawn  to  an 
Accurate  Scale."   (See  entry  59.) 

That  same  year,  Rand  McNally  used  the  plates 
from  the  large  map  to  produce  its  famous  Com- 
mercial Atlas  and  Marketing  Guide,  which  is  now  in 
its  105th  edition.  The  map  and  the  Business  Atlas,  as 
it  was  then  known,  required  the  services  of  10 
compilers  and  engravers  for  nearly  two  years  and 
cost  about  $20,000.'^  Today  the  atlas  continues  to 
be  an  indispensable  reference  tool  for  the  business 
world  and  the  librarian,  for  it  contains  the  most 
complete  index  to  place  names  in  the  United 
States,  as  well  as  useful  railroad  information.  This 
information  includes  a  complete  list  of  railroads 
in  the  United  States,  total  mileage,  distance 
table,  and  freight  and  passenger  service  to  each 
state  or  city.  Included  also  is  a  map  of  the  prin- 
cipal railroad  network  and  state  maps  which 
show  and  list  the  railroads  serving  each  state.  A 
summary  of  the  current  status  of  major  mergers 
is    also    included. 

Between  1882  and  1891  Rand  McNally  pro- 
duced elephant-sized  maps  at  the  scale  of  1 :506,880 
or  1  inch  to  8  miles,  in  12  panels  which  when 
joined  formed  a  map  more  than  10  X  15  feet  in 
size.  The  several  editions  of  the  map,  which  covers 
the  country  from  the  east  coast  to  the  105th 
meridian  of  longitude,  are  entitled  "Rand  Mc- 
Nally &  Go's  New  Railroad  Junction  Point  and 
County  Map  of  the  Eastern  &  Middle  States 
Prepared  from  Latest  Government  Surveys,  and 
Verified  by  the  Working  Time  Tables  of  the 
Various  Railroads.  Drawn,  Engraved,  Printed, 
Colored  by  Hand  and  Published  by  Rand,  Mc- 
Nally &  Co.  Chicago."  It  shows  county  boundaries, 
all  railroad  junctions,  and  all  railroads  identified 
by  hand-applied  colors.  This  is  probably  the  map 
which  George  H.  HeafTord  stated  was  "frequently 
posted  on  the  out-houses,  dead-walls  and  fences  of 
our  large  cities." 

Not  all  the  commercial  mapping  ventures  of  the 
late  19th  century  represented  large  and  diversified 
operations.  Several  interesting  manuscript  maps  of 
the  midwestern  states  that  portray  routes  of  the 
"Railway  Mail  Service"  and  locate  working  post 
offices  are  based  on  the  official  "Post  Route  Maps" 
and  the  outsized  map  mentioned  above.  These 
large-scale,  hand-drawn  maps  were  designed 
toward  the  end  of  the  century  by  Frank  H.  Gal-

counties  for  each  of  the  states,  by  McEwen  Map 
Company  of  Chicago,  is  pasted  on  the  maps.  The 
maps  were  devised  to  serve  as  memory  aids  for 
employees  of  the  Railway  Mail  Service  and  the 
U.S.  Post  Office  Department  in  quickly  locating 
counties,  routes,  and  post  offices  in  the  several 
states.  The  maps  were  not  published  but  were 
rented,  on  a  fee  basis,  to  practicing  or  prospective 
postal  workers.  (See  entry  215.) 

The  large  amount  of  data  made  available  as  a 
result  of  19th-century  railroad  surveying  and 
mapping  activities  helped  stimulate  other  mapping

ventures.  Maps  became  readily  available  to  the 
public  in  quantity  and  at  low  prices  mainly  because 
of  the  great  advances  in  19th-century  printing 
techniques.  The  vast  amount  of  valuable  data 
gathered  by  government  exploring  parties  in  the 
West  contributed  to  more  accurate  commercially 
produced  general  maps  as  well  as  the  specialized 
railroad  and  route  quide  maps.  These  readily 
available  cartographic  reference  tools  contributed 
in  large  measure  to  the  geographical  knowledge 
of  the  country  and  assured  their  survival  in  map 
collections. 

Railroad  map  production  continued  at  a  strong 
pace  into  the  early  20th  century,  until  expansion  of 
the  network  was  completed.  It  declined,  slowly, 
after  the  peak  of  railroad  building.  The  largest 
decline  is  noted  in  individual  promotional  maps 
and  surveys  as  lines  became  abandoned  or  con- 
solidated. General  railroad  maps,  depicting  the 
continental  United  States  and  using  the  basic 
style  developed  in  the  previous  century,  continued 
to  be  popular  until  the  beginning  of  World  War  II. 
Today  separately  published  maps  of  individual 
consolidated  systems  and  small-scale  maps  printed 
in  timetables  and  atlases,  such  as  Rand  McNaliys 
Handy  Railroad  Atlas  of  the  United  States  (Chicago, 
1973),  continue  to  reflect  the  influence  of  mapping 
and  printing  styles  developed  in  the  19th  century.
