Description

Fantastic early promotional map showing the prospective route of the Northern Pacific to Yellowstone National Park.

The map was issued a full decade before the Northern Pacific Railroad finally did reach Yellowstone. This map was part of the advertising material created in Philadelphia by the Financier of the Northern Pacific Railroad, Jay Cooke, in his attempt to duplicate the Union Pacific's success in using Yosemite as a promotional resort to encourage travel to the west. It is one of the earliest obtainable maps to outline to intention of the Northern Pacific Railroad to create a line from the Gallatin / Bozeman area to Yellowstone.

Themap also provides fantastic detail in the region traversed, locationg many early towns and military forts and camps.
