Rather than showing a single nation, this map spans North America from Canada in the north through the United States and Mexico to Central America. Railroad companies and promoters often issued maps like this in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when rail was the fastest way to move people and freight across the continent. The title, *Our Country*, reflects the continental outlook of the period, when rail lines were seen as links binding the region together. Viewers can trace how these routes connected distant cities.
