This map sets the United States, Canada and Central America together under the title "Our Country," framing the continent as one connected region rather than separate nations. Pictorial maps like this were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when illustrators used decorative vignettes, borders and symbols to make geography easy to read for general audiences. Filed under Trains, it invites a look at how railroads, which linked distant cities and opened interior regions to trade and travel, shaped how people of that era pictured their country and its neighbors.
