A true exploration into this area of the United States, this map shows with precise detail how railways, highways, rivers and canals connect major cities like Nashville, Atlanta, Birmingham, Jacksonville and more together to help drive the economy of post-war America. This map also includes gorgeous shaded relief of the Appalachian Mountains.
This map is part of a series of six sectional maps of the United States published between 1940 and 1948. It includes insets of the Lower Mississippi, Littoral of Cape Hateras and Norfolk, and the South Carolina and Georgia coasts.
