Notes
Shows U.S. from east to west coast north of Texas. Boundaries colored in red. Text beneath map and on verso extols land and region. There is also interesting social commentary on the society of Missouri in the aftermath of the Civil War. The Central Pacific is shown developed just beyond Pyramid Lake and the Union Pacific is still in Nebraska. Many railroads, existing and projected, are shown. Areas in California, Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado are labeled Gold Region. The Oregon Trail is shown, though not named as such, and is named in one stretch, the 'New Worked Emigrant Rd'. Construction of the Hannibal and St. Joseph RR began in 1851 from both cities and was completed in Feb. 1859. It appears that all the towns on the line are located and named. In 1860 the RR met the Pony Express. The railroad was acquired by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy RR in 1883.--Warren Heckrotte.
"Advertising broadsheet map published by the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad Company announcing land sales in Northern Missouri. Map detail includes routes of the incomplete Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads. A table gives the acreage of available railroad land in each of 20 counties. The sheet is filled with marketing 'facts' and information. The Hannibal & St. Joseph railroad was the first to cross Missouri."--Edited description, Barry Lawrence Ruderman Antique Maps website.
