Note:
|
Insets show proposed railway projects crossing between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Hondurus line was never completed but was extended far enough from the Atlantic to stimulate fruit growing (for export) in the interior. The Tehuantepec line in Mexico was completed in 1894.

Pub Note:
|
49th edition and one of the latest editions we have seen. At this point in the publishing history of this atlas, most if not all of the maps are in color lithography. But the quality of the lithographic printing is declining. Maps often show countries color-coded to indicate the colonizing European country. Relief in hachures.
