A stunning 17.5” by 23.5” map encased in a double-sided, 23.5” by 29.5” wooden frame. The front is a full map of the Las Vegas & Tonopah Railroad’s “Goldfield Route” through Nevada, California, Utah, and Arizona. The map includes town names, mines, and junctions. The bottom of the map is printed “For Best Service see that your Ticket reads and your Freight is Routed over the Las Vegas & Tonopah R.R.”. Pristine. The reverse of the map, which was clearly designed to be folded into twelfths, bears printed information about the route, mining districts, times tables, and also bears the date of the map: 1 May 1910. This reverse side of the map is yellowed along some of the fold-lines, but is otherwise in fantastic shape. Considered rare. The Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad operated from 1906-1918. - Jacobitz Collection -59760
