Our enhanced map of the proposed S.O. Houghton and Southern Pacific Railroad company is a rare glimpse into the history and lore of the American West. Cross country transit and trade was to be made possible with this agreement and the construction of these railways. This map detailed the topography, existing rail-lines, and proposed new railways. This proposed new system of railroads was considered one of the greatest undertakings of its time and upon completion represented a true American feat of engineering.
