Toward the end of the 19th century, the better atlas makers had pushed the size and quality of their maps to the limit. George F. Cram was one of these publishers, but he also put out a special group of atlases concentrating on and highlighting the railway system in each of the states. He only did this for a few short years, though, and either did not produce many of these atlases or they were destroyed through use, because they are extremely scarce. This detailed railroad map of California comes from one such atlas. It shows routes for 44 separate railroad lines located and color-coded. It also shows counties, towns, rivers, township surveys, lakes, mountains, creeks, waterfalls, and much other information. From Cram's scarce 1898 Bankers’ and Brokers‘ Railroad Atlas. Fantastic vivid color on this huge format map. Clean and on paper that looks nearly fresh. An extremely nice example. 16.25 x 22.
