About this piece

Ohio in c.1888, an original map of the whole state by Rand, McNally & Co. printed in black on toned paper with railroad lines overprinted in red and blue. The running head "Rand, McNally & Co.'s Ohio" appears across the top between atlas page numbers 272 and 273, and a scale of statute miles is given at the lower right.

The entire state is shown on a single wide sheet, with Lake Erie along the top and the Ohio River forming the southern and eastern border. Counties are outlined and railroad lines cross the state in every direction, thickest around Cleveland on the lake, Columbus at the center and Cincinnati at the lower left on the Ohio River. Michigan and Indiana are lettered at the western edge, Kentucky below the river, and West Virginia and Pennsylvania at the east.

The sheet gives a statewide view of Ohio's railroad network at the height of its growth, with the cities of the lake shore and the Ohio valley tied together by a close grid of lines.
