Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Topographical Features and Character of the Country
From the eastern border of the Choctaw territory to the head of Pajarito creek, about seven hundred miles, our route is near the valley of the Canadian. Beyond, to Rio Pecos, (nearly forty miles,) it passes a ridge which extends northwardly from the Llano Estacado and divides the waters of the Mississippi from those of Rio del N orte. After crossing the Pecos, threading Canon Blanco, and traversing the high mesa which breaks the continuity of the Rocky mountains, this line unites with the valley of Rio Galisteo, and strikes the Rio del Norte near San Felipe or, by a, shorter route, from the lagunas near the head of Cahon Blanco, proceeds by the way of San Antonio Pass to the narrows of Rio Grande, at the Pueblo of Isleta.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed exploration of the proposed route for a national railroad from Fort Smith, Arkansas, to Martinez, just outside San Francisco, created by the US Army Corps of Topographical Engineers in 1853. The railroad was envisioned as a way to connect the eastern and western United States, improving trade and transportation. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the route, including a description of the terrain, climate, and water resources along the way. The author also discusses the potential benefits of the railroad, as well as the challenges that would need to be overcome in its construction. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American railroad system or the development of the American West. It offers a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities that faced the United States in the mid-19th century, as it sought to expand its territory and connect its people.
