Map of The Southern Pacific Company and Connections. 1891
"Along The Sunset Route"
An attractive promotional map for the southern route to California, leaving from New Orleans, traveling across Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Shows the accessibility from the eastern routes to connect to it, and an inset shows routes further, into Mexico. Adjacent text and vignettes paint not just a beautiful journey, but one of history and potential. "Crossing western Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, the capitalist will find abundant food for reflection in the vast opportunities for stock-raising upon the fertile plains".
Condition is very good, with one or two supportive repairs to corner folds. Image size is approximately 9.75 x 23 (inches)
