View text and map on back: http://kaga.wsulibs.wsu.edu/zoom/zoom.php?map=wsu327 <br>This map comes from a promotional brochure produced by the Northern Pacific Railroad. Government land grants to the railroad in return for the construction of its transcontinental route left the various early transcontinental railroads in the business of promoting regions and selling land to settlers for decades after the completion of their routes. The Northern Pacific completed their transcontinental railroad, the first to the northwest, in 1883.
