Two maps (one showing the nation in 1869, and one in 1893) show cattle ranges, cattle trails, railheads, the main transcontinental railroad route, other long-haul routes, and secondary routes. One inset at the bottom has a chart showing the increase in railroad track decade by decade from 1860 to 1890, and the other has a chart showing the increase in Western population decade by decade from 1860 to 1890, and pie charts showing the percentage of farmed to unfarmed land in 1860 versus 1890.
