More Information

A large and impressive relic of the great age of American Railroads. This dramatic map, issued by the National Publishing Company in 1900, covers the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island with adjacent parts of Long Island, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and New York. The map is color coded to show county and township configurations, but its true and evident purpose is to help travelers navigate the confusing network of train, trolley, and coach lines that operated throughout the region. This map shows major trunk lines heading to Hartford, Springfield, Providence, and Boston with numerous branch lines, most run my small companies, serving smaller towns and cities. When this map was printed the Age of Rail was well developed in New England with all but 20% of the region's towns and cities connected by one of the many private rail lines. This particular example of this well known map is issued in pocket map format and is much rarer than the more common, though identical, wall map issued at the same time.

What our customers are saying

★★★★★

I purchased an historic map, 16x24 inch. It is beautifully printed on heavy stock. The lettering, colors, and details of the map are crisp and easy to read. I am highly satisfied and would certainly purchase from Historic Pictoric again!

Ordered the Pan American Midway print to fit a lovely thrift-store gilded frame. I love showing off Buffalo's rich history and this is a pretty entertaining photo from 1901. Prompt shipping. Sturdy packaging.

I received my print within days of ordering, and it arrived well packed in a mailing tube. The print is high quality and exactly as advertised. I will use Historic Pictoric again in the future!

Excellent product. Great fidelity in reproduction of the original. Fine/minute details were sharp, colors were vibrant, and thickness, texture and overall feel and quality of the paper were excellent. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I have purchased six maps from Historic Pictoric. I find the quality to be excellent. Their customers service is also excellent. Outstanding! I called to exchange a few for different sizes and I could not have asked for a better experience.

★★★★★

The original map I ordered lacked some of the detail that I had hoped for, but they responded with several more map possibilities to choose from. Excellent service- a far step beyond what anyone expects from online purchases.

I am a owner of 5 maps from Historic Pictoric. From Okinawa, 1945, Europe 1940-1945 battle maps. Now they’re helping me with the battle of Gettysburg. These maps are so much superior to the map on a page in a book. I have framed two of them.
