A beautiful three-part map of the railroad route from Chicago to San Francisco, ostensibly via “The Burlington Route” of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. However, this route only really got you as far as Omaha, and you were then through-booked on other railroads like the Union Pacific the rest of the way west. The map just is filled with superb detail: mileages, elevations, population of towns, prevalent industries and land uses along the way, and more. Primitive printing techniques from 1879 means that the ink registration is a little off in places, but this is still a wonderful piece.<\/p>\n
Available as a 23″ by 9″ poster, with a 0.5″ white border on all sides (24″ by 10″ sheet).<\/p>\n
Each poster is printed on-demand using fully archival, UltraChrome inks on Moab Lasal Matte, a beautiful, brilliant white, 230gsm (11 mil) alpha cellulose paper which is acid- and lignin-free. Each print is carefully inspected, wrapped in pH-neutral paper, then rolled and placed in a sturdy chipboard tube for shipping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":329,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[35],"product_tag":[70,99,71,72,73,77,190,166,172,44,61,62,30,74,75,32,183,48,200],"class_list":["post-124","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-vintage-maps","product_tag-70","product_tag-california","product_tag-cbq","product_tag-chicago","product_tag-chicago-burlington-quincy-railroad","product_tag-illinois","product_tag-iowa","product_tag-nebraska","product_tag-nevada","product_tag-passenger-rail","product_tag-railroad","product_tag-railway","product_tag-rectangle","product_tag-san-francisco","product_tag-the-burlington-route","product_tag-usa","product_tag-utah","product_tag-vintage","product_tag-wyoming","product_shipping_class-shipping-small-1lb","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/transitmap.net\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/transitmap.net\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/transitmap.net\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transitmap.net\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transitmap.net\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/transitmap.net\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transitmap.net\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=124"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transitmap.net\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=124"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transitmap.net\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
