Additional Information
Published three years after the territory achieved statehood, this unique depiction of North Dakota shows the state in a period of significant transition and growth. The success of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railroads had expanded access to North Dakota, and European immigrants were flocking to the region to establish farms, dairies, and cattle ranches. German immigrants comprised the majority during this period as they fled civil unrest in their home country, with a large portion of Scandinavian immigrants also establishing homesteads in the region. As rail lines increased, access towns and cities were established as the region became an essential agricultural driver for the burgeoning nation.
This work is a distinctive representation of iconic American mapmaker Rand McNally's signature style. The late nineteenth century saw Northeastern Americans coming to the region's cities to establish thriving retail businesses as farmers' needs expanded. The importance of railroad expansion throughout the region cannot be understated and was the driving force behind the state's economy, which exported numerous agricultural commodities that were fueling The United States' growth. Much of this growth was spurred by efforts from the Great Northern Railroad, which purchased Government lands and advertised them to eager farmers in the East and Europe as well.
North Dakota's natural resources have always driven the state economy, and the expansion of railroads allowed farmers to export their crops throughout the nation. Rand McNally became synonymous with maps through the twentieth century, and this early piece of theirs is truly a piece of cartographical history.
