DescrizioneRand, McNally and Co. Map of the Houston and Texas Central Railway 1880 UTA.jpg |
English: This folding railroad promotional brochure map is a fine example of a late nineteenth-century American railway map by one of the most important American railway mapmakers and publishers still in business today: Rand, McNally and Company of Chicago. Established in 1858 as a printing company, by 1873 the firm was known for its railroad related work and had also opened a map department where they advertised "all kinds of Relief Plate Engraving [cerography or wax engraving]". The heavy lines with evenly spaced dots emphasize the main railroad lines, and each dot represents a "whistle-stop" or station where the train would let off and take on passengers and freight. This was, and still is, a characteristic feature of many railroad and subway maps which simplify, exaggerate, and distort distances, area, and direction in order to convey key information. Although the Houston and Texas Central Railway is the central focus of the map, it also delineates the railroad's integration with New York shipping and railroad magnate Charles W. Morgan's steamship lines, the Texas and New Orleans, the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, and other railroads.
