1 map; 12 x 22 cm. <br>In 1876 and 1877, the Northern Pacific purchased a controlling interest in the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad, which gave them a connection to the railroads of the Midwest, and which assured St. Paul am major shipping role when the Northern Pacific's transcontinental route was finished. The brochure from which this map comes is a self-promotional pamphlet published by the city of St. Paul, and concerned almost uniformly with that city's assets, excepting a small section focussing on tourism in the Yellowstone. This brochure commemorates the September, 1883 opening of the Northern Pacific's transcontinental route.
