Issued 1912, Chicago by Rand McNally.
Large, oversized early 20th century color lithographed map. 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 size 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".
