An example of J.L. Smith issuing Rand McNally maps. On the map is a red rubber stamp with Smith's name and logo. The map is classic Rand McNally for the period, showing railroads only in the eastern half of the U.S. and railroads and roads in the less settled western half. This is a later, enlarged (into Mexico) issue of the 1883 Rand/Dripps U.S. (our #3259). Eight small insets are titled: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago, Buffalo & Niagara Falls, and Washington. Outline color by state, map folded into black cloth covers 16x11 with label reading "Map Of The United States And Territories J.L. Smith." Prime meridian is Washington D.C.
