Description Map of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe 'Texas Midland Route' 1880 UTA.jpg |
English:
This promotional map of Texas, Indian Territory, and parts of surrounding states is quite unusual in its almost fluorescent coloration. The text on the back of the map advertises "300 miles of track" and "better and surer connections" with trains of the International and Great Northern Railroad. Since the G.C. & S.F. wanted to promote this relationship, the map shows those lines thicker, although not as thick as the G.C.& S.F. itself. Not surprisingly, the thinner lines are reserved for the main competitor railroad: the Houston & Texas Central.
