  • "14071."
  • "This attractive color lithographed map of the upper Midwest and Plains states highlights the system of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway Company. Stretching from Chicago in the east to Milwaukee, the Twin Cities, Fargo, Omaha, and Kansas City, the company operated a robust network of rails that accommodated freight and passenger traffic to destinations across the United States. The proposed line running from Chamberlain to Deadwood in South Dakota (not yet a state) reflects greater ambitions to connect to the Pacific Coast--an achievement that would be realized in 1909. Connecting routes are shown with thick black lines, while other competitors are represented in a more diminutive fashion. The map also shows frontier fortifications, Indian agencies, geographic features, and settlements of all sizes."--Edited description of Curtis Wright Maps.
