 Preface 
 
 To SATISFY Americans' keen interest in the routes 
 of railroads, cartographers have shown rail lines on 
 maps since the first tracks were laid in the United 
 States. There are in the collections of the Library 
 of Congress thousands of American railroad maps 
 as well as numerous general maps showing railroad 
 routes as part of the transportation network. The 
 maps, which are in the custody of the Geography 
 and Map Division, vary widely in area, content, 
 and scale. Some cover major segments of our 
 country and depict the interrelationship of various 
 modes of transportation. Others resemble con- 
 temporary "strip" road maps and show only a 
 ribbon of land immediately adjacent to a specific 
 railroad right-of-way. 
 
 Requests for information are received by the 
 Library of Congress from railroad enthusiasts 
 in search of active and abandoned rail lines as 
 well as from students and scholars interested in 
 transportation. In addition, increased interest in 
 rail transit has been exhibited by offices of the 
 United States Congress and various federal 
 agencies. Lynn Mullins notes in her 1969 publica- 
 tion The Golden Spike, A Centennial Remembrance, that 
 in the literature about American railroads "there 
 is no bibliography specifically devoted to nine- 
 teenth-century railroad maps, [and, therefore] the 
 printed catalogues of the large map libraries must 
 be combed for pertinent references." Such refer- 
 ences, however, are altogether inadequate, for 
 they are too general to include comprehensive 
 subject or chronological approaches. This biblio- 
 graphy is designed to meet that need. 
 
 The Library's holdings include railroad maps 
 issued for a variety of purposes. Among the collec- 
 tions are official printed government surveys 
 
 conducted to determine the most practical railroad 
 routes. Pacific Railroad Surveys, U.S. General 
 Land Office maps which show land grants to 
 railroads, surveys for specific rights-of-way, and 
 general surveys prepared to accompany progress 
 reports of individual railroads. Other maps were 
 published specifically to promote particular lines, 
 some of which were never built. Also represented 
 in the collection are maps issued by commercial 
 publishers, intended for ticket agents and the 
 public, as route guides to encourage commerce 
 and travel to the newly settled areas west of the 
 Mississippi River. 
 
 This annotated list reveals the scope of the 
 railroad map collection and highlights the develop- 
 ment of railroad mapping in 19th-century America. 
 Described are 622 maps chosen from more than 
 3,000 railroad maps and about 2,000 regional, 
 state, and county maps, and other maps which 
 show "internal improvements" of the past century. 
 
 The maps selected represent a profile of the 
 development of cartographical style and technique 
 and are not intended to inventory all maps in the 
 division which show railroads. The list does reflect, 
 however, the important achievements of early 
 railroaders in reaching their ultimate goal of 
 providing a transportation network spanning the 
 country and linking the Atlantic and Pacific 
 Oceans. 
 
 The list includes only separate printed and 
 manuscript maps preserved in the Geography 
 and Map Division. Excluded are photocopies, 
 facsimiles, atlases, and maps which are included in 
 annual railroad company reports or which illus- 
 trate volumes classed elsewhere in the Library of 
 Congress.

 PREFACE 
 
 The entries in this bibliography begin with 
 maps covering the United States as a whole or 
 large portions of it. These are followed by entries 
 for the five major geographical regions and then 
 by maps of states, including at least one entry 
 for each of the 50 states. The maps are in chron- 
 ological order within these geographical areas. 
 The list is concluded with descriptions of maps of 
 individual railroads, arranged alphabetically and 
 chronologically. Where possible the entry includes 
 the author's name, the full title of the map, the 
 imprint, a notation if the map is in color, the 
 natural scale, if determinable, and the measure- 
 ments to the nearest centimeter, with vertical 
 dimension first. A brief paragraph describes the 
 geographical coverage of each map and includes 
 its general content. 
 
 The introductory essay traces the scope and 
 development of American railroad mapping from 
 its beginning in the late 1820's through the 19th 
 century. A general index provides names of rail- 
 roads, subjects, authors, surveyors, engineers, 
 cartographers, engravers, lithographers, publishers, 
 and printers. 
 
 The maps described, which are all sharp and 
 
 legible, vary in size from small fold-out sketches to 
 large-scale, detailed surveys and wall maps 
 designed for display in transportation and ticket 
 offices. The majority are in color. 
 
 Uncolored photoreproductions and color trans- 
 parencies of maps in this bibliography may be 
 purchased from the Library of Congress, Photo- 
 duplication Service, Washington, D.C. 20540. 
 Requests for cost estimates and purchase orders 
 should refer to this bibliography by name and 
 cite the bibliographic entry numbers. The des- 
 criptive annotations can help in determining 
 whether a large map is needed or if a smaller one, 
 which can be reproduced more economically, 
 will provide the essential information. Maps are 
 most economically reproduced by the photostat 
 process, and this form of reproduction is usually 
 quoted in estimates. If reproductions are desired 
 for use in publications, 8- by 10-inch glossy 
 photographic prints should be requested.

 Introduction 
 
 American railroad mapping had its inception 
 early in the 19th century when people began 
 moving inland over the inadequately charted 
 continental landscape. The expanding frontier, 
 the rich agricultural production of the land, and 
 exploitation of natural resources demanded im- 
 proved methods of transport. The transportation 
 revolution was initiated with construction ot 
 privately owned toll or turnpike roads, gathered 
 momentum with the introduction of steamships 
 and canal building, and reached maturity in the 
 1830's with the introduction of steampowered 
 railroads.' 
 
 Soon after James Watt developed the steam 
 engine, the invention was adapted by John Fitch 
 in 1787 to propel a ship on the Delaware and in 
 the same year by James Rumsey on the Potomac 
 River. Fitch, an American inventor and surveyor, 
 had two years earlier published his "Map of the 
 Northwest" to finance the building of a commer- 
 cial steamboat. With Robert Fulton's steamboat, 
 the Clermont, and a boat built by John Stevens, the 
 use of steam power for vessels became firmly 
 established. Railroads and the use of steam prop- 
 ulsion developed separately, however, and it was 
 not until the two systems merged that railroads 
 began to flourish. 
 
 The use of rails for heavily loaded, wheeled 
 vehicles to reduce friction was introduced in 
 England as early as the 17th century. The first 
 American "tramroad" or "gravity road" was 
 erected in 1764 for military purposes at the 
 Niagara portage in Lewiston, N. Y., under the 
 direction of Capt. John Montressor, a British 
 engineer, known to students of historical carto- 
 graphy also as a mapmaker. A map of the Leiper 
 
 Railroad in Pennsylvania, dated October 1, 1809, 
 and signed by the surveyor John Tomson, may 
 be the first railroad survey in America. The 
 original has, seemingly, not survived. A re- 
 production, entitled "Draft Exhibiting. . . the 
 Railway Contemplated by John Leiper Esq. From 
 His Stone Sawmill and Quarries ... to His Land- 
 ing on Ridley Creek," however, illustrates Robert 
 P. Robins' A Short Account oj the First Permanent 
 Tramway in America (Philadelphia, 1886).^ The 
 first of the commercial "tramroads" was surveyed 
 and constructed in 1826 at Quincy, Mass., by 
 Gridley Bryant, with the machinery for it developed 
 by Solomon Willard. It was to utilize horsepower 
 to haul granite, needed for building the Bunker 
 Hill Monument,' from the quarries at Quincy, 
 four miles to the wharf on the Neponset River. 
 The following year the Mauch Chunk "gravity 
 road," used for transporting anthracite coal, was 
 constructed in Pennsylvania.^ 
 
 John Stevens, who shares credit with Fulton for 
 inventing the steamboat, is considered to be the 
 father of American railroads. In 1826 Stevens 
 demonstrated the feasibility of steam locomotion on 
 a circular experimental track constructed on his 
 estate in Hoboken, N. J. Three years later George 
 Stephenson perfected a practical steam locomotive 
 in England. The first railroad charter in the 
 United States was granted to Stevens in 1815.^ 
 Grants to others followed, and work soon began on 
 the first operational railroads. Surveying and 
 construction started on the Baltimore and Ohio 
 in 1830, and 14 miles of track were opened before 
 the year ended. (See entry 332.) This roadbed 
 was extended in 1831 to Frederick, Md., and, in 
 1832, to Point of Rocks. Until 1831, when a
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 locomotive of American manufacture was placed 
 in service, the B & O relied upon horsepower. 
 Soon joining the B & O as operating lines were 
 the Mohawk and Hudson, opened in September 
 1830; the Saratoga, opened in July 1832; and the 
 South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Company, 
 whose 1 36 miles of track, completed to Hamburg, 
 constituted in 1833 the longest steam railroad in 
 the world. (See entry 299.) The Columbia Rail- 
 road of Pennsylvania, completed in 1834, and the 
 Boston and Providence, completed in June 1835, 
 were other early lines. (See entries 1, 348, and 610.) 
 Surveys for and construction of tracks for these and 
 other pioneer railroads not only created demands 
 for special mapping but also induced mapmakers 
 to show progress of surveys and completed lines on 
 general maps and on maps in "travelers guides." 
 (See entry 5.) 
 
 Publication of 19th-century American railroad 
 maps paralleled similar developments in Europe. 
 British railroads were first shown on a map in 
 Philippe Vandermaelen's Atlas de L'Europe, pub- 
 lished in Brussels in two volumes between 1829 and 
 1833. In 1835 Robert Stephenson, brother and 
 partner of George Stephenson, drew one of the 
 first English railroad survey maps for the "London 
 and Birmingham Railway." Published in 1838 
 were C.F. Cheffin's lithographic map of the same 
 line at a larger scale and J.R. Jobbins' lithographic 
 maps of England and Wales and of the London 
 and Southampton Railway. Also in 1838, Irish 
 railroads were depicted by Henry Drury Harness, 
 an early statistical cartographer.^ 
 
 Planning, surveying and mapping, and con- 
 struction of railroads in America progressed 
 rapidly and haphazardly, without direction or 
 supervision from the states that granted charters to 
 construct such works. Before 1840 most surveys 
 were made for short passenger lines which proved 
 to be financially unprofitable. Because steam- 
 powered railroads had stiff competition from canal 
 companies, many partially completed lines were 
 abandoned. It was not until the Boston and Lowell 
 Railroad diverted traffic from the Middlesex 
 Canal that the success of the new mode of trans- 
 portation was assured. (See entry 346.) The 
 industrial and commercial depression and the 
 panic of 1837 slowed railroad construction. In- 
 terest was revived, however, with completion of the 
 Western Railroad in Massachusetts in 1843. This 
 
 line conclusively demonstrated the feasibility of 
 transporting agricultural products and other 
 commodities by rail for long distances at low cost. 
 Within the next 20 years railroads were playing 
 a dominant role in the transportation system of 
 the country. In the Middle West interest in 
 building railroads was strong, and many lines were 
 mapped and subsequently constructed to connect 
 the leading centers of commerce. Interest also 
 increased in the South, where natural waterways 
 had previously provided adequate transportation 
 for commercial traffic. By 1850, when the in- 
 centive to survey and map public works on a large 
 scale was stimulated by the discovery of gold in 
 California, the existing railroad network provided 
 an excellent base for a productive decade of 
 American railroad surveying and mapping.' 
 
 The Civil War provided another stimulus for 
 railroad mapping, because of the strategic im- 
 portance of rail transportation to the armies. (See 
 entries 137-143.) After the war, railroad builders 
 became aware of the traffic-generating potentials 
 of the scenic wonders of the West. Jay Cooke and 
 Company, financiers of the Northern Pacific 
 Extension Project, and other promoters, ac- 
 cordingly, lobbied for the establishment of Yellow- 
 stone National Park. To make it accessible to 
 tourists, they persuaded park promoters to support 
 completion of the railroad to coincide with the 
 opening of the park in 1872. Not until 1883, 
 however, did a rail spur extend to within three 
 miles of the park. (See entries 449-501.) Other 
 railroads followed the lead in promoting estab- 
 lishment of resorts and national parks.* This 
 created additional demand for maps to illustrate 
 reports, promotional literature, displays, and 
 timetables from the thousands of railroad and 
 promotional firms which sprang up in the 19th 
 century. (See entries 399 and 400.) 
 
 Technological advances in papermaking and 
 printing which permitted quick and inexpensive 
 reproduction of maps also greatly benefited rail- 
 road cartography. Before the introduction of these 
 new techniques, maps were laboriously engraved, 
 in reverse, usually on copper plates, and printed 
 on hand presses. Although the results were ex- 
 cellent, this was a slow and costly process which 
 could not keep pace with the demand for railroad 
 maps. Introduction of lithography to America, a 
 process invented in 1798 by Alois Senefelder of

 earliest topographic strip map in the Library showing a 
 railroad survey. These tines were originally intended for 
 horse-drawn trains. {Entry 348)

 Bavaria, came at an opportune time, just as the 
 first railroad charter was being granted in 1815. 
 This invention revolutionized map printing and 
 provided the means for inexpensive map repro- 
 duction. Within two years after William and John 
 Pendleton established the first important litho- 
 graphic printing house in Boston in 1825, their 
 firm was printing railroad surveys and reports for 
 the earliest New England railroad companies.' 
 
 Even after lithographic printing in map pro- 
 duction became common, engraving continued in 
 use for many years for finer and more limited works. 
 As late as 1848 Peter S. Duval of Philadelphia 
 engraved map plates of Virginia for Claudius 
 Crozet, principal engineer to the Commonwealth. 
 (See entry 307.) Some firms, like G.W. and C.B. 
 Colton of New York, used copper plates through 
 the 1860's and 1870's. Others utilized both 
 reproduction methods, and in some instances 
 "engraving" was done on stone. (See entries 92, 
 124, 126, 174, and 396.) Technical advances 
 were quickly adapted to map printing. The 
 transfer process eliminated most of the laborious 
 procedure of drawing on stone in reverse. By the 
 use of specially prepared paper and ink, an il- 
 lustration or a newly drawn map could be trans- 
 ferred directly to a stone or a zinc plate. The 
 use of "zincography" in America as early as 1849 
 is credited to P.S. Duval's Swiss shop foreman, 
 Frederick Bourquin. Zinc plates were adaptable 
 
 to the rotary steampower press, which was first 
 installed by Duval in his Philadelphia lithographic 
 establishment."" (See entries 81, 600, and 601.) 
 
 Another important printing process, cerography 
 or wax engraving, was introduced in America by 
 Sidney Edwards Morse, whose father Jedidiah 
 Morse published in 1784 the first geography book 
 in the United States, Geography Made Easy. The 
 process was first used in 1839 for Morse's "Cero- 
 graphic Map of Connecticut," and in 1842, for 
 the Cerographic Atlas of the United States. This was 
 an ingenious method of making a mold from 
 which a printing plate was cast. On a thin layer of 
 wax applied to a copper plate, lines and symbols, 
 and later type, were inscribed or impressed. 
 Through an electroplating process, a relief mold 
 was produced from which single sheet maps were 
 printed. The process was kept secret by Morse. It 
 became more widely utilized after Rand McNally 
 introduced its wax engraving process in 1872. From 
 the 1870's through the first four decades of the 20th 
 century, this method of printing became popular 
 with large map printing houses in the United 
 States. The firm of George F. Cram and Company, 
 well known for its railroad maps and other geo- 
 graphic publications, adopted the process in the 
 1880's with introduction of its Universal Family 
 Atlas oj the World. Matthews-Northrup and Com- 
 pany also utilized this method for printing their 
 numerous railroad maps. Multicolor printing.
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 the development of photolithography, and the 
 offset press further accelerated railroad map 
 production and greatly reduced prices." 
 
 Color lithography to distinguish regions and 
 administrative divisions on maps was introduced as 
 early as the 1850's. (See entry 86.) Color to ac- 
 centuate the many lines of intricate railroad 
 networks, however, continued to be manually 
 applied to many maps at the end of the century, 
 including Rand McNally's elephant-sized maps 
 of the 1890's, which are discussed in detail at the 
 end of this essay. 
 
 To fill requests for special-purpose maps, the 
 new printing methods contributed greatly to the 
 volume and variety of railroad maps. This is 
 reflected in the Library's large and comprehen- 
 sive collection of American railroad maps, the 
 majority of which were acquired through copyright 
 deposits following the passage of the Copyright 
 Law in 1870. Earlier maps, many detached from 
 pamphlets, journals, timetables, and annual reports 
 of the companies, were acquired as gifts and by 
 purchase. Many railroad maps were among the 
 cartographic items which constituted the Library's 
 collection when a separate Map Division was 
 formed in 1897. These are listed in Philip Lee 
 Phillips' A List of Maps of America in the Library of 
 Congress (Washington, Govt. Print. Off., 1901). 
 
 A large segment of commercially produced 
 railroad maps, perhaps as much as 30 percent, was 
 deposited by the New York City publishing house 
 established in 1831 by Joseph Hutchins Col ton. 
 This firm was known the world over for the quality, 
 quantity, and variety of its publications, including 
 maps, atlases, and school geographies." Henry 
 Varnum Poor, in the introduction to his History 
 of the Railroads and Canals of the United States 
 of America (1860), commends the series of Col- 
 ton's railroad maps which illustrate his work. 
 "All the maps," Poor wrote, "are drawn and 
 engraved under the supervision of G. Woolworth 
 Colton, Esq., whose diligence, accuracy and 
 extensive information are sufficient guarantee for 
 their correctness."" Indeed, Colton's maps from 
 the early 1850's to the last decade of the century, 
 most of which were subtitled "Colton's Railroad 
 and Township Map," surpassed in quality and 
 quantity other maps published in the 19th century. 
 Other reputable map publishing firms of the 
 period include Asher & Adams of New York, 
 
 James T. Lloyd and Company of New York and 
 London, Matthews-Northrup and Company and 
 J. Sage and Sons of Buffalo, Gaylord Watson of 
 New York and Chicago, and later in the century, 
 the Chicago firms of Rand McNally and George F. 
 Cram. The last two are still in the map business. 
 
 Other maps among the more than 5,000 rail- 
 road maps in the Geography and Map Division 
 include progress report surveys for individual 
 lines, official government surveys, promotional 
 maps (some of which, such as entry 425, were 
 geographically distorted to exaggerate the size and 
 routes of one line). Pacific Railroad Surveys, maps 
 that show the extent of railroad land grants, maps 
 locating rights-of-way, and route guides published 
 by commercial firms. Some railroad maps cover the 
 entire country or large portions of it and show the 
 entire railroad network. Others are limited to a 
 specific railroad or show one survey line, often 
 with adjacent connections. Numerous maps show 
 rail lines within one state, county, or geographic 
 region. These and many other general maps, the 
 U.S. Post Office's "Post Route Maps," and the 
 earlier editions of the large-scale, topographical 
 quadrangle maps, published by the U.S. Geo- 
 logical Survey since its establishment in 1879 but 
 not listed here, provide excellent source material 
 for the search of abandoned railroad lines. 
 
 In the Library's collections are maps from the 
 earliest era of railroad mapmaking, Henry Schenck 
 Tanner's "Map of the Canals & Rail Roads of the 
 United States," dated 1830, is an early general 
 map, depicting "working lines" on the eastern 
 seaboard and in Kentucky, Alabama, and Louis- 
 iana. Located on the map are routes of the Colum- 
 bia Railroad in Pennsylvania and the B & O in 
 Maryland. (See entry 1.) In his 1829 Memoir on the 
 Recent Surveys, Observations and Internal Improvements 
 in the United States Tanner lists "Brief Notices" on 
 "Rail Roads Never Before Delineated." He notes 
 that in New England "some spirited individuals 
 have adopted legislative measures to ensure an 
 early completion for the Boston and Providence 
 Railroad, whose surveys have been completed."'* 
 The Boston and Providence is the earliest line 
 represented by a printed survey from a progress 
 report in the Library's map collections. (See 
 entry 348.) The map, dated January 1828, shows 
 proposed lines of a survey two and a half years 
 before the railroad was chartered in June 1831."
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 It illustrated the Massachusetts Board of Com- 
 missioners of Internal Improvements' Report in 
 Relation to the Examination of .Sundry Routes for a 
 Railway from Boston to Providence; with a Memoir of 
 the Survey (Boston, Button & Wentworth, printers 
 to the state, 1828). It is also interesting to note that 
 in the report the commissioners believed "that 
 horse power will be most expedient for application 
 to the uses of this road." The report is the one 
 referred to by Tanner in the above cited Memoir. 
 This map is one of the very first products of George 
 G. Smith and William B. Annin, who in 1828 
 established a printing firm bearing the name of the 
 inventor of lithography, the Senefelder Litho- 
 graphy Company of Boston. The firm was taken 
 over by the Pendletons in 1830.'* 
 
 The collections also include examples of original 
 manuscript railroad maps, among which are 
 several prepared by the Confederate engineer, 
 Maj. Jedediah Hotchkiss. The Hotchkiss Map 
 Collection was acquired by the Library in 1948." 
 Another noteworthy manuscript map, drawn in 
 1843, is the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- 
 pany's "Map of the Country West of Cumberland," 
 referred to in the Report of the Chief Engineer of 
 September 20th, 1843. This large map, at the scale of 
 1:316,800 and approximately 2 3^ X 4 feet in 
 size, is hand colored on tracing linen. It embraces 
 western Pennsylvania, western Maryland, parts of 
 Virginia and West Virginia and most of Ohio and 
 indicates several "preferred" and "surveyed" 
 lines to Wheeling and Pittsburgh as well as other 
 possible northern and southern routes in the area. 
 (See entry 335.) 
 
 One of the earliest printed government surveys 
 was "drawn from the original plot" by Lt. Andrew 
 Atkinson Humphreys, who as chief of the Office 
 of Western Explorations and Surveys some years 
 later supervised the making of the maps for the 
 Pacific Railroad Surveys, including G.K. Warren's 
 monumental map of the transmississippi west.'^ 
 (See entry 174.) Humphrey's "Map of the Routes 
 Examined and Surveyed for the Winchester and 
 Potomac Rail Road, State of Virginia, Under the 
 Direction of Capt. J.D. Graham, U.S. Top. Eng., 
 1831 and 1832," was based on surveys by Lts. 
 A.D. Mackay and E. French in 1831 and Lts. 
 French and J.F. Izard in 1832. The map was 
 published to accompany the "Documents con- 
 cerning Winchester and Potomac Railroad," 
 
 24th Congress, 2d Session, House Document 465. 
 This topographic map, submitted to the Bureau of 
 Topographical Engineers in 1832, shows surveys 
 in strips along the projected railroad routes and 
 identifies property owners. It covers the country 
 between the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers as 
 far as Winchester, Va. A table lists the surveyed 
 routes. This line, constructed to connect with 
 the B & O at Harpers Ferry, was designed to 
 divert Shenandoah Valley wheat from the city 
 of Alexandria and stimulate the growth of Balti- 
 more. Completion of the line in 1836 greatly 
 contributed to the decline of Alexandria. (See 
 entry 619.) 
 
 Also in 1832, the Orange and Alexandria 
 Railroad Company was chartered. It was not 
 until 1848, however, that this company was 
 organized to recover for the city of Alexandria 
 some of the trade previously lost to Baltimore and 
 Richmond. Construction on the line began in 
 1850 and was completed to Culpeper by 1852 and 
 to Gordonsville in 1854. At the latter town the 
 line had a junction with the Virginia Central 
 Railroad, and Warrenton was linked by a branch 
 line in 1853. The Manassas Gap Railroad, the 
 first to cross the Blue Ridge Mountains (see 
 entry 453), was completed to Strasburg in 1854 
 to join Alexandria with the upper Piedmont 
 Valley." Detailed descriptions of three original 
 surveys were published in the Proceedings of the 
 Called Meeting of the Stockholders of the Orange and 
 Alexandria Railroad Company, December, 1849. The 
 routes on the maps generally follow the survey 
 lines as reported by Chief Engineer Thomas C. 
 Atkinson at the fifth annual meeting of the stock- 
 holders, held in Alexandria, October 24, 1854. No 
 map is appended to the report, but in the Geo- 
 graphy and Map Division there is a "Map and 
 Profile of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad 
 with its Warrenton Branch and a Portion of the 
 Manassas Gap Railroad," which was drawn by 
 August Faul and printed about 1854 by Ackerman 
 Lithography of New York. This map, annotated to 
 show geological structures along the route of the 
 railroad, is an example of the general survey maps 
 prepared to illustrate progress reports of individual 
 railroads, as well as of specific right-of-way surveys.

 financed by private investors. Before the 1 850 land

 grant to the Illinois Central Railroad, indirect 
 federal subsidies were provided by route surveys 
 made by army engineers. In the 1824 General 
 Survey Bill to establish works of internal improve- 
 ments, railroads were not specifically mentioned. 
 Part of the appropriation under this act for the 
 succeeding year, however, was used for "Examin- 
 ations and surveys to ascertain the practicability 
 of uniting the headwaters of the Kanawha with 
 the James river and the Roanoke river, by Canals 
 or Rail-Roads."^" In his Congressional History of 
 Railways, Lewis H. Haney credits these surveys as 
 being the first to recieve federal aid. He notes that 
 such grants to states and corporations for railway 
 surveys became routine before the act was repealed 
 in 1838. 
 
 The earliest printed map in the collections, based 
 on government surveys conducted for a state- 
 owned railroad, is "Map of the Country Em- 
 bracing the Various Routes Surveyed for the 
 Western & Atlantic Rail Road of Georgia, 1837." 
 (See entry 613.) The surveys were made under 
 the direction of Lt. Col. Stephen H. Long, chief 
 engineer, who 10 years earlier had surveyed the 
 routes for the Baltimore and Ohio,^' (See entry 
 332.) Work on the 138-mile Georgia route from 
 Atlanta to Chattanooga started in 1841, and by 
 1850 the line was open to traffic. Its strategic 
 location made it a key supply route for the Con- 
 federacy. It was on this line that the famous 
 "Andrews Raid" of April 1862 occurred when 
 Union soldiers disguised as railroad employees 
 captured the locomotive known as the "General. "^^ 
 (See entry 614.) 
 
 The possibility of railroads connecting the 
 Atlantic and Pacific coasts was discussed in 
 Congress even before the treaty with England 
 which settled the "Oregon Question" in 1846.2' 
 Chief promoter of a transcontinental railroad 
 was Asa Whitney, a New York merchant active 
 in the China trade, whose obsession was a railroad 
 to the Pacific. In January 1845 he petitioned 
 Congress for a charter and a grant of a 60-mile 
 strip through the public domain to help finance 
 construction." Whitney suggested the use of 
 Irish and German immigrant labor which was at 
 the time in great abundance. Wages were to be 
 paid in land, and the workers were thus to become 
 settlers along the route and, subsequently, patrons 
 and suppliers for the completed line. Failure of 
 
 Congress to act on his proposal was mainly due 
 to the vigorous opposition of Senator Thomas 
 Hart Benton of Missouri, who favored a western 
 route originating at St. Louis. 
 
 In 1849 Whitney published a booklet to pro- 
 mote his Project for a Railroad to the Pacific. It was 
 accompanied by an untitled outline map of North 
 America which shows the route of his railroad from 
 Prairie du Chien, Wis., across the Rocky Moun- 
 tains north of South Pass. An alternate route to 
 the south of the pass joined the main line at the 
 Salmon River and continued to Puget Sound. 
 Proposed lines also extended from St. Louis to 
 San Francisco and from Independence, Mo. to 
 New Mexico and the Arkansas River. This is one 
 of the earliest promotional maps submitted to 
 Congress and was, according to its author, con- 
 ceived as early as 1830.^^ (See entry 14.) 
 
 Although Congress failed to sanction his plan, 
 Whitney made the Pacific railroad one of the great 
 public issues of the day. The acquisition of Cali- 
 fornia following the Mexican War opened the way 
 for other routes to the coast. Discovery of gold, the 
 expanding frontier, and success of the eastern 
 railroads increased interest in building a railroad 
 to the Pacific.^' Railroads were also needed in the 
 West to provide better postal service, as had been 
 developed in the East in 1838 by designating 
 railroad lines "post roads." Strengthened by 
 other proposals, including those of Hartwell 
 Carver in 1849 and of Edwin F. Johnson in 1853 
 (see entry 24), such leading statesmen as John C. 
 Calhoun, Stephen A. Douglas, and Jefferson 
 Davis declared their support for linking the coun- 
 try by rails. The lawmakers, however, could not 
 agree on an eastern terminus and they did not 
 comprehend the merits of the several routes west. 
 To remedy this situation money was appropriated 
 in 1853 for the Army Topographical Corps "to 
 ascertain the most practicable and economical 
 route for a railroad from the Mississippi River to 
 the Pacific Ocean." 
 
 Under the provisions of the Army Appropriation 
 Act of March 1853, Secretary of War Jefferson 
 Davis was directed to survey possible routes to the 
 Pacific. Five selected routes, roughly following 
 specific parallels, were to be surveyed by parties 
 under the supervision of the Topographical Corps. 
 The most northerly survey, between the 47th and 
 49th parallels, was under the direction of Isaac

 indicating the routes oj the Pacific railroad surveys. The 
 
 Ingalls Stevens, governor of Washington Ter- 
 ritory. This route closely approximated that 
 proposed by Asa Whitney. 
 
 The ill-fated party under Capt. John W. 
 Gunnison was to explore the route along the 38th 
 and 39th parallels, or the Cochetopa Pass route, 
 advocated by Senator Benton. Because he failed to 
 get John Charles Fr6mont appointed to head this 
 expedition, Benton promoted two well-publicized, 
 privately financed ventures in the same year, one 
 headed by Edward F. Beale and the other by 
 Fremont. After Gunnison's death at the hands of 
 hostile Indians, Lt. Edward G. Beckwith continued

 the survey along the 41st parallel. Capt. Amiel W. 
 Whipple, assistant astronomer of the Mexican 
 Boundary Survey, and Lt. Joseph Christmas Ives 
 surveyed the routes of the 35th parallel, westward 
 to southern California. This was essentially the 
 route traversed by Josiah Gregg in 1839 and later 
 surveyed by Col. John J. Abert. When the results 
 of the surveys were analyzed it was apparent that 
 additional data on the roadbeds, grades, and 
 passes were needed for the 32d parallel route to 
 California. Lt. John G. Parke resurveyed along the 
 Gila River between the Pima villages and the 
 Rio Grande. Capt. John Pope mapped the

 INTRODUCTION 
 
 eastern portion of the route from Dona Ana, N. 
 Mex., to the Red River. Topographical surveys 
 to locate passes through the Sierra Nevadas and 
 the Coast Range in California and to determine 
 the route that would connect California, Oregon, 
 and Washington were made under the direction of 
 Lt. Robert S. Williamson. " (See entries 146-174.) 
 
 These surveys showed that a railroad could 
 follow any one of the five routes and that the 32d 
 parallel route was the least expensive. The South- 
 ern Pacific Railroad was subsequently built along 
 this parallel. (See entry 567.) The southern routes 
 were objectionable to northern politicians and the 
 northern routes were objectionable to the southern 
 politicians, but the surveys could not, of course, 
 resolve these sectional issues. The surveys contrib- 
 uted greatly, however, to the geographical know- 
 ledge of the American West and provided source 
 materials for making detailed railroad and general 
 maps. 
 
 Just as the earliest railroad surveys in the East in 
 the 1830's influenced mapping activities, the 
 great amount of data derived from the Pacific 
 surveys similarly stimulated cartographic activi- 
 ties. The wealth of data used in compiling 22 
 large individual maps published with the 13 
 handsomely illustrated volumes of the Pacific 
 Railroad Surveys, ^* was the basic source material for 
 Lt. Gouverneur Kemble Warren's "Map of the 
 Territory of the United States from the Missis- 
 sippi River to the Pacific Ocean." (See entry 174.) 
 With Warren's map the work of the Topographical 
 Engineers on the preliminary Pacific surveys came 
 to an end.^' 
 
 Because of the accelerating flow of new infor- 
 mation, Warren recognized, in his Memoir to 
 Accompany the Map, the difficulty of keeping such 
 a map up to date. He stated that "the work of 
 compilation . . . must necessarily be frequently 
 repeated; and to aid the future compiler, I have 
 prepared the accompanying memoir upon the 
 different maps and books used, and upon the 
 manner in which their discrepancies have been 
 resolved." He gratefully acknowledged the work 
 of Edward Freyhold in "the beautiful execution 
 of the topography upon the map. . . ." The first 
 revision of the map, drawn by Freyhold, was 
 engraved on stone by Julius Bien of New York. 
 Described under entry 1 74, the map is in President 
 Millard Fillmore's collection and bears his sig- 
 
 nature and the date December 19, 1863. This 
 map, like the first edition, lists 45 major surveys 
 and mapping reports from the time of Lewis and 
 Clark to the General Land Office Surveys of the 
 late 1850's. 
 
 While sectional issues and disagreements were 
 debated in the late 1850's, no action was forth- 
 coming from Congress on the Pacific railroad 
 question. Theodore D. Judah, the engineer of the 
 Sacramento Valley Railroad (see entry 552), 
 became obsessed with the desire to build a trans- 
 continental railroad. In 1860 he approached 
 Leland Stanford, Collis P. Huntington, Mark 
 Hopkins, and Charles Crocker, leading Sacramento 
 merchants, and soon convinced them that building 
 a transcontinental line would make them rich and 
 famous. The prospect of tapping the wealth of 
 the Nevada mining towns and forthcoming 
 legislation for federal aid to railroads stimulated 
 them to incorporate the Central Pacific Railroad 
 Company of California. This line later merged 
 with the Southern Pacific. (See entry 567.) It 
 was through Judah's efforts and the support of 
 Abraham Lincoln, who saw military benefits in 
 the lines as well as the bonding of the Pacific coast 
 to the Union, that the Pacific railroad finally 
 became a reality. The Railroad Act of 1862 put 
 government support behind the transcontinental 
 railroad and helped create the Union Pacific 
 Railroad (see entry 588), which subsequently 
 joined with the Central Pacific at Promontory, 
 Utah, on May 10, 1869, and signaled the linking 
 of the continent. 
 
 The second half of the 19th century was the 
 era of railroad land grants. Between 1850 and 1872 
 extensive cessions of public lands were made to 
 states and to railroad companies to promote 
 railroad construction.'" In general, the companies 
 received from the federal government, in 20- or 
 50-mile strips, usually 20 alternate sections of 
 public land for each mile of track that was built. 
 Responsibility for surveying and mapping the 
 grants fell to the U.S. General Land Office, now 
 the Bureau of Land Management. Numerous 
 maps of the United States and individual states 
 and counties were made which clearly indicated 
 the sections of the granted land and the railroad 
 rights-of-way. The maps recorded the progress of 
 the surveys in the public domain and usually 
 indicated major drainage, relief by hachures,
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 township and range lines, roads, railroads, and 
 major cities and towns. 
 
 Typical of the land-grant maps is a "Map 
 Showing the Location of the Road and the Land 
 Grant of the Atlantic and Pacific R.R. in New 
 Mexico," published in 1883. Sometimes called the 
 35th parallel road, this railroad was created by 
 an Act of Congress, approved July 27, 1866. The 
 total grant amounted to some 42 million acres for 
 a line from Springfield, Mo. to the Pacific coast, a 
 distance of about 2,000 miles. (See entry 329.) The 
 "Map of Franklin County, Arkansas; Showing 
 the Land Grant of the Little Rock & Fort Smith 
 Railway," published in 1893, shows how much 
 land was still owned by one railroad in one county 
 some 20 years after the era of land grants. (Com- 
 pare entries 443 and 444.) Land-grant maps, which 
 were published for many years, were frequently 
 used by land speculators to advertise railroad 
 lands for sale to the public. As early as 1868 most 
 western railroads established profitable land de- 
 partments and bureaus of immigration, with 
 offices in Europe, to sell land and promote foreign 
 settlement in the western United States. Con- 
 sequently the Library's collections also include 
 some foreign-language maps aimed at both the 
 immigrant already on the eastern coast and the 
 prospective one in Europe (see entries 177a and 
 330) and may have led to the distortion of rail- 
 road maps to emphasize one state, area, or line 
 to the advantage of the advertiser. This idea, 
 derived from the government land-grant maps, 
 may have been perpetuated by the mapping of 
 the Illinois Central Railroad after it was granted 
 land along its path in 1850. In John W. Amerman's 
 book entitled The Illinois Central Rail-Road Com- 
 pany Offers for Sale Over 2,000,000 Acres Selected 
 Farming and Wood Land (New York, 1856) appears 
 an "Outline Map of Illinois" which emphasizes 
 the Illinois Central Railroad by a heavy black 
 line, with stations interspersed evenly along the 
 line to give the illusion of proximity of populated 
 places along the line. Another example of a 
 distorted map is Josiah Hunt's advertising map of 
 the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railway published 
 in 1863 (see entry 425), which emphasized its 
 line by a symmetrical strip and heavy black line 
 between Hannibal and St. Joseph, Mo. This 
 practice of manipulating scale, area, and paths of 
 railroads became common practice in advertising

 The geographic inaccuracy in railroad maps led 
 George H. Heafford, general passenger agent 
 for the Missouri Pacific, to note in 1878 that, "If 
 this World could be made over according to some 
 of our ideas, I have not the faintest doubt but 
 that the railroads we represent would all be the 
 straightest and shortest lines between every 
 prominent city in the country.'!" An 1879 Rand 
 McNally booklet confirms that 
 
 map 'designing' to other than a railroad official, might seem 
 a peculiar phrase, but the majority of railroad maps have 
 some 'peculiar designs' hidden under the careful pencil of 
 the draughtsman. It requires a faculty only aquired by 
 experience and a perfect knowledge of the railroad system 
 of the country, to 'design' a good railroad advertising map.

 INTRODUCTION 
 
 The various friendly interests must be shown to best advant- 
 age, and the rival interests disposed of in a manner that 
 'no fellow can find out.' The drawing of a good map is a 
 matter of considerable difficulty, but the 'designing' of a 
 good map involves the exercise of tact and ingenuity. 
 Probably more original map projections have been made in 
 our map drawing room than have ever been produced in 
 the United States. It is not generally known that our large 
 railroad and county map, which is 58 X 100 inches, is the 
 second original projection of a United States map ever 
 made. Our United States and Canada Atlas is made from 
 the same projection.'* 
 
 This statement, however, does not seem appli- 
 cable to the large and detailed map of 1876 which 
 indicates drainage, relief by hachures, inter- 
 national, state and county boundaries, cities and 
 towns, railroad stations, canals, roads, trails, a 
 comprehensive railroad network, and railroads 
 under construction. A note on the map states: "The 
 entire map is printed from electrotype plates, 
 sections of which can be used for special railroad 
 maps, publishers premium maps, maps to accom- 
 pany reports, pamphlets . . . and for various 
 advertising purposes." 
 
 Warren's large map incorporating the Pacific 
 railroad surveys was heavily used by such commer- 
 cial publishers as Joseph H. Colton to revise 
 their maps. (See entry 147a.) A beautifully exe- 
 cuted commercial guide map which drew upon 
 the Pacific railroad surveys is entitled "Map of the 
 United States West of the Mississippi Showing the 
 Routes to Pike's Peak, Overland Mail Route to 
 California and Pacific Rail Road Surveys." The 
 map, published in 1859, is accompanied by a 
 seven-page booklet which describes the Overland 
 Mail Route. In his Mapping the Transmississippi 
 West, Carl I. Wheat calls this "the best designed 
 map that appeared in this era, [which] is notable 
 for its clarity." (See entry 176.) 
 
 Following the consolidation and rapid growth 
 of American railroads after the panic of 1873, 
 many commercial maps were produced to show 
 the spreading network. One company signaled its 
 emergence into this field by announcing, in Janu- 
 ary 1873, that 
 
 the house of Rand, McNally & Co., beg leave to inform 
 their railroad friends, and the patrons of the [Railway] 
 Guide generally, that they have lately made extensive 
 additions to their engraving department, and are now 
 prepared to execute Map and all kinds of Relief Plate 
 Engraving in the very highest style of the art. The maps of 
 the vicinity of Boston, Baltimore and Washington, and the 
 Engraving on opposite page, are given in this number of the 
 
 Guide, as specimens of Engraving for ordinary printing. 
 The perfect clearness with which these maps are shown to 
 be printed is a guarantee of the class of work turned out." 
 
 Rand McNally's output in the late 19th century 
 rivaled the volume of maps, guides, illustrated 
 timetables, and atlases produced by Colton. In 1858 
 William H. Rand, a native of Boston, established 
 a printing office in Chicago and employed as a 
 printer Andrew McNally. By 1868 Rand and 
 McNally had formed a partnership which soon 
 acquired a reputation as specialists in railroad 
 printing. In 1871 they introduced the Rand Mc-

 INTRODUCTION 
 
 Nally Railway Guide. Less than a year after their 
 business was destroyed in the 1871 Chicago fire, 
 the company's first two maps appeared in the 
 December 1872 issue of the Guide. In response to 
 the need by the railroads for maps in timetables 
 and other publications, Rand and McNally opened 
 a map department in late 1872. With adoption of 
 the wax engraving process, followed in May 1873 
 by the employment of a color printing process. 
 Rand McNally's reputation as one of the world's 
 leading commercial mapmakers was established.''' 
 A typical early Rand McNally map published in 
 1874 shows the lines of the "Chicago, Milwaukee & 
 
 11 
 
 St. Paul Railway." (See entry 378.) In the borders 
 of the map are picturesque scenes of the country 
 traversed by the railroad, as well as a list of 
 railroad stations in the Middle West. On the 
 verso are timetables and ticket information and a 
 small "Map of the Business District of Chicago" 
 which locates railroad depots. A major accom- 
 plishment of this firm was publication in 1876 of 
 their "New Railroad and County Map of the 
 
 Portion of Rand McNally's detailed, wax-engraved rail- 
 road map published in 1876. This map was used as the 
 basis Jor their famous commercial atlas series now in its 
 105th edition. (..Entry 59)

 That same year, Rand McNally used the plates 
 from the large map to produce its famous Com- 
 mercial Atlas and Marketing Guide, which is now in 
 its 105th edition. The map and the Business Atlas, as 
 it was then known, required the services of 10 
 compilers and engravers for nearly two years and 
 cost about $20,000.'^ Today the atlas continues to 
 be an indispensable reference tool for the business 
 world and the librarian, for it contains the most 
 complete index to place names in the United 
 States, as well as useful railroad information. This 
 information includes a complete list of railroads 
 in the United States, total mileage, distance 
 table, and freight and passenger service to each 
 state or city. Included also is a map of the prin- 
 cipal railroad network and state maps which 
 show and list the railroads serving each state. A 
 summary of the current status of major mergers 
 is also included. 
 
 Between 1882 and 1891 Rand McNally pro- 
 duced elephant-sized maps at the scale of 1 :506,880 
 or 1 inch to 8 miles, in 12 panels which when 
 joined formed a map more than 10 X 15 feet in 
 size. The several editions of the map, which covers 
 the country from the east coast to the 105th 
 meridian of longitude, are entitled "Rand Mc- 
 Nally & Go's New Railroad Junction Point and 
 County Map of the Eastern & Middle States 
 Prepared from Latest Government Surveys, and 
 Verified by the Working Time Tables of the 
 Various Railroads. Drawn, Engraved, Printed, 
 Colored by Hand and Published by Rand, Mc- 
 Nally & Co. Chicago." It shows county boundaries, 
 all railroad junctions, and all railroads identified 
 by hand-applied colors. This is probably the map 
 which George H. HeafTord stated was "frequently 
 posted on the out-houses, dead-walls and fences of 
 our large cities." 
 
 Not all the commercial mapping ventures of the 
 late 19th century represented large and diversified 
 operations. Several interesting manuscript maps of 
 the midwestern states that portray routes of the 
 "Railway Mail Service" and locate working post 
 offices are based on the official "Post Route Maps" 
 and the outsized map mentioned above. These 
 large-scale, hand-drawn maps were designed 
 toward the end of the century by Frank H. Gal-

 maps were devised to serve as memory aids for 
 employees of the Railway Mail Service and the 
 U.S. Post Office Department in quickly locating 
 counties, routes, and post offices in the several 
 states. The maps were not published but were 
 rented, on a fee basis, to practicing or prospective 
 postal workers. (See entry 215.) 
 
 The large amount of data made available as a 
 result of 19th-century railroad surveying and 
 mapping activities helped stimulate other mapping

 ventures. Maps became readily available to the 
 public in quantity and at low prices mainly because 
 of the great advances in 19th-century printing 
 techniques. The vast amount of valuable data 
 gathered by government exploring parties in the 
 West contributed to more accurate commercially 
 produced general maps as well as the specialized 
 railroad and route quide maps. These readily 
 available cartographic reference tools contributed 
 in large measure to the geographical knowledge 
 of the country and assured their survival in map 
 collections. 
 
 Railroad map production continued at a strong 
 pace into the early 20th century, until expansion of 
 the network was completed. It declined, slowly, 
 after the peak of railroad building. The largest 
 decline is noted in individual promotional maps 
 and surveys as lines became abandoned or con- 
 solidated. General railroad maps, depicting the 
 continental United States and using the basic 
 style developed in the previous century, continued 
 to be popular until the beginning of World War II. 
 Today separately published maps of individual 
 consolidated systems and small-scale maps printed 
 in timetables and atlases, such as Rand McNaliys 
 Handy Railroad Atlas of the United States (Chicago, 
 1973), continue to reflect the influence of mapping 
 and printing styles developed in the 19th century.
