Product details
This rail, stage, and county map of New Mexico shows the territory in a significant period of growth and transformation as settlers flocked to the region for work in mining camps and the towns that sprung up around them. Though New Mexico would not become a part of the United States for more than four decades, the region was being settled by immigrants from the American South, Western Europe, Ireland as well as Mexicans that had inhabited the region during the earlier parts of the nineteenth century. Produced and published by the iconic American mapmakers Rand McNally this crisp depiction of the territory bears the signature style and attention to detail that allowed the firm to become synonymous with American cartography.
The distinctive style and immediately recognizable aesthetic transport the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. During these frontier times, many of the historical figures of the western genre had their origins in New Mexico, including Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett. The rugged terrain led to a sizeable ranch-based economy until the discovery of oil in the 1920s, spurring another population boom and bringing wealth to the state. The expanded access to this remote region was increased with the completion of the first transcontinental railroad a decade prior to the publication of this map.
As the American West became more settled in the latter portions of the nineteenth century, it became a popular destination for residents seeking dryer climates from the Northeast. Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper. Shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube your print will arrive ready to be framed. This eye-catching vintage map reproduction print makes the perfect gift for anyone that loves history and imagery.
