We are proud to offer this map of Chicago, originally produced as part of Rand McNally's Enlarged Business Atlas dated 1891. Although the table of contents shows different editions starting in 1885, we believe this is the first edition of the Enlarged Atlas. Each of these maps accurately locates all cities, towns, post offices, railroad stations, villages, counties, parishes, islands, lakes, rivers, mountains and more. Until McNallyâs enlarged Business Atlas, maps had never been produced that provided as much information as these do. Even today, we use these 130 year old maps to locate small towns, villages, and railroad routes that are no more. This map measures 9.75 inches by 12.75 inches.
