About this piece

New Hampshire in c.1888, an original map 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 New Hampshire" runs up the right margin beside atlas page numbers 88 and 89.

The whole state is shown on an upright sheet, with its counties and towns closely lettered, from the Canadian border at the top to the short Atlantic coast at the bottom right. Railroad lines run up the Connecticut River valley on the western side, through the center of the state and across the south toward Boston and the coast. The White Mountains region fills the northern center. Vermont lies along the western edge, and parts of Maine, with Oxford, Cumberland and York counties lettered, lie to the east, with part of Massachusetts at the bottom.

The sheet shows the state's rail network in the 1880s, with lines running from the manufacturing towns of the Merrimack valley to Boston and Portland, and north into the mountains and lakes of the interior.
