  • Shows the Mexican National Railway running up to Laredo, Texas, where it connects with numerous tributary railroads. Particular emphasis is placed on the Texas & St. Louis Railway, which reaches Chicago.

Manuscript additions to the map track the completion of rail laid shortly after the map's production and were probably added by a British or American investor tracking the progress of the reorganized build-out in late 1882 or early 1883.
