Original outline hand coloring with rail lines highlighted in blue and red. Fingers point the way on the large map to New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk.
Chicago’s transportation system gained significant importance beginning with the building of Illinois and Michigan Canal which connected the Mississippi River with Lake Michigan. Cattle, hogs, grain and other goods were grown and traded in Chicago and many branch manufacturers such as millers, slaughtering houses, packing, rendering and even candle making, in addition to brewing and distilling were in full swing during this time. Railroad growth was stimulated by this and the massive immigration to the Indiana territory during the 1850s. Standard Oil was founded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1870 by Rockefeller and subsequently the Indiana and Illinois Central was chartered in 1853 and completed in 1857. In 1875 it became part of the Cincinnati and Indianapolis& Western Railway.
Condition: Very good, left and right margins slightly torn with small missing pieces, slight tear under title extending under title some water spots on top image otherwise normal age coloring throughout with nice dark markings and lines look like new.
