Description

Gorgeous large format railroad map, hand colored by counties. Shows railroads, towns, rivers, lakes, mountains, township surveys,etc. Asher & Adams Atlas was conceived as a Railroad Atlas, but is probably most notably for its relatively unique style and excellent large format treatment of the states west of the Mississippi.
