Description

Rare separately issued map showing the railroads of the Republic of Argentina, published in London by Mc Corquodale & Co., for William Field, Secretario de la Oficina de Ajustes.

The map captures the industrial and agriculltural growth of Argentina at the end of National Autonomist Hegemony, a period of tremendous growth in the Argentine population and economy, spurred by government reforms and a mass influx of European immigrants.

The map is divided by states and shows in great detail, the operating railoads in Argentina at the beginning of the 20th Century, with the various lines identified by different colors. and dashed lines showing projected railroad lines.

Several insets show the urban and suburban lines around Tucuman, Mendoza, Buenos Aires, Rosario, San Francisco, and Bahia Blanca, with a larger inset showing the railoads in Patagonia. A note at the bottom indicates that the map includes all operating lines and lines under construction, as of November 1, 1910.

The map is apparently very rare. We find no recorded examples of the map and no examples in any on line search.
