Shows the routes of the proposed Southern Central Railroad and the Northern Railroad. Also the Central/Union Pacific Railroad. Includes their connections. A terrific railroad map that is most notable in its depiction of the Golden Spike area in Utah: the entire track is shown completed except for 50 miles between Weber Canyon and Fort Bridger! As far as we know this is the only railroad map with this unique depiction published just days before the completion. Includes a proposed branch from the Winnemucca area to Portland! Map is in excellent condition. Fascinating large format map of the US, showing the progress of the 3 Transcontinental Railroad Lines, including lines completed and projected. The map accompanied a 31 page pamphlet entitled The Policy of Extending Government Aid to Additional Railroad. Map by Joseph Gorlinsky, produced by the American Photo-Lithography Co. 16 x 28".
