Ontario Railroads Toronto Ottawa 1901 Rand McNally large transportation map

Ontario Railroads.

(Old Maps, North America, United States, Early 20th Century Maps, Ontario, Ottawa, Toronto, Railroads, Transportation).

Issued 1901, Chicago by Rand McNally.

Large, oversized early 20th century color lithographed map. Overprinted in red to show local railroad lines then in existence. Not to be confused with the much more common smaller maps by this same maker, this one from the much more expensive and scarcer monumental Business Atlas. This large size format allows for much more detail.

Well preserved, nice looking example with pleasing age patina. 

Original center fold as issued.

Sheet Measures c. 20 1/2" x 28".

Printed Area Measures c. 19" x 27 1/2".
