This detailed railroad map of Utah shows everything from counties and railroad lines to towns, mines, rivers, lakes, mountains, creeks, and waterfalls. It includes township surveys, giving a full picture of the state’s geography and infrastructure.

The map comes from George Cram's very rare "Standard American Railway Atlas." Cram was one of the most prolific mapmakers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He started out making railroad maps in the late 1860s, and his work was known for its accuracy and detail. His maps played a key role in documenting the expansion of the railroad network across the United States.

With a view of Utah spanning many important locations including Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake, Uintah Indian Reservation, Grey Cliffs, Nephi, Mount Pleasant and with limited depictions of its bordering states Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho, and Nevada. Verso side with a robust index to the map opposing a pictorial map of Cincinnati.  

This Utah map is a great example of Cram's meticulous work. It captures the diverse landscape of the state along with important man-made and natural features. Maps like this one show how crucial the railroads were to the economic and social development of the western United States in the late 19th century.

Condition: This map is in A condition. Slightly toned toward outer margins with two small losses along the right edge. Small tear repair to left edge.
