Issued 1912, Chicago by Rand McNally for their huge Commercial Atlas.

Uncommon early 20th century oversized color lithograph map from a scarce commercial atlas. Much larger and scarcer than the usual, smaller Rand McNally maps of this period. This map is on an elephant folio size sheet and displays a level of detail not found on smaller maps. Map consists of two sheets, please see photos.

Overprinted in red to show an extensive assortment of RR lines.

Well preserved, nice looking example with pleasing age patina. Numerous short edge tears which have been cleanly closed on reverse with archival tape and are easy to overlook or totally miss when viewing the map. Will look great and be small wall size if framed for display. Perfect for gift giving.

Original center fold as issued.

Sheet Measures c. 20 1/2" H x 28" W.
