This is a very exciting year for National Geographic Maps, as we are launching our new series of maps designed specifically for the kids. Our new graded-series of maps are the first to address the unique needs of K-12 students as they advance their understanding of our World. Unlike other classroom poster maps, ours utilize the Winkel-Triple projection, which provides the best combination of size, shape, and distance giving the student the best visual representation of the Earth's surface. This solves the effect seen on other maps where Greenland appears larger than South America. Our new maps start early elementary kids off right. Our Beginner Series, grades K-3, contains an easy to read maps of the World and United States. As kids progress, so do our maps! Our Political Series, grades 4-12, has up-to-date World and U.S. maps, increasing the detail of information for the teacher and student to utilize. Finally, our Physical Series, grades 6-12, helps advancing students understand the World's diverse landform, Oceans, and our Nation's terrain. Laminated: 51" x 40".

McNally 1883 Antique Railroad Map of Mississippi - $159

McNally 1883 Antique Railroad Map of Mississippi - 9 Reviews

Other Picture

The United States in the 1880s was a nation on the brink of greatness. Almost two decades had passed since the Civil war threatened to tear the young nation apart. Now, united from north to south and from east to west (by a rapidly growing network of railroads), the U.S. was becoming a wealthy and powerful nation. This fascinating authentic antique map is an early work of the Rand McNally firm in Chicago, pioneers of the cerographic (wax-engraving) process, that allowed for the inexpensive printing of full-color maps. Originally a publisher of maps and timetables for the burgeoning railroad industry, Rand McNally's early maps focused on the expanding web of rail lines that linked nearly every corner of the nation. The various railroads, roads, counties, cites, towns, and geographic features are detailed on this relatively large map. If you are looking for an unusual piece of art, to decorate a home or office, these truly "limited-edition" (as it was made more than a century ago) prints are perfect.

McNally 1890 Antique Map of North Dakota

McNally 1890 Antique Map of North Dakota Reviews

Other Picture

In 1889, the Dakota Territory was split in two and admitted to the Union as the states of North and South Dakota (this map would have been one of the first to show the new states separately). Later in 1889 and 1890, Montana, Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming were also admitted to the Union. The country was maturing economically, as huge businesses began to dominate various industries. In an attempt to limit these powerful conglomerates (known as trusts), various states passed antitrust laws. This activity culminated in congressional passage the Sherman Antitrust Act (still used today to limit anti competitive behavior). The final U.S. military action against Native Americans occurred on December 29, 1890. Early that morning, the Seventh Cavalry massacred 200-300 Sioux men, women and children encamped on the banks of Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota. This 110 year old work was made using the wax-engraving map printing process pioneered by Rand McNally. This process created high-quality, low-cost maps and made the company the leading creator of maps in the United States (a position they enjoy to this day). This map shows the the state’s geographic features, counties, towns, cities, and railroads.

Johnson 1885 Antique Map of Colorado Reviews

The map you will receive was actually engraved and painted in the 19th century. Each is slightly different as the colors were applied by hand. When the few maps we have in our collection are gone, we will be unable to offer any more. As these are authentic antiques, expect slight flaws and age spots. These are the patina of time and add to the character of each piece. If you are looking for an unusual piece of art, to decorate a home or office, these truly limited-edition prints are perfect.
