Description
This is a 19th-century map of the Southwestern United States and Mexico, showing proposed and practicable railroad lines extending from El Paso, Texas, to the Pacific Ocean. It was created by Andrew Belcher Gray (1820-1862) to accompany the memoirs of US Army Lt. Mowry. This page is found on the American Memory Project's Map Collection Web site. The Railroad Maps illustrate the growth of travel and settlement as well as the development of industry and agriculture in the United States. Included in the collection are progress report surveys, government surveys, promotional maps and route guides published by commercial firms. These images were created from maps and atlases and, in general, are restricted to items that are not covered by copyright protection. The map can be downloaded for use in the classroom. Less
