Abstract | This map of North Carolina engraved and published by Rand, McNally & Company shows the routes of railroads in and running through the state in 1908. Each railroad is listed alphabetically by name in the lower right hand corner of the map with a corresponding number which is used to identify the route of each railroad on the map. An Explanation located under the title shows the symbols used for state capitals and county seats and states that the relative importance of places are shown by the size of type. The western portion of the state appears as an inset in the lower left hand corner of the map. Portions of surrounding states are also included. An index of the state's chief cities with their populations indicated is found on the left hand side of the map outside the neat line. Another index on the reverse of the map provides the location for the state's counties, creeks, islands, lakes, and rivers, and the population, county, and location of all incorporated towns. |
