http://www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/guide/gm050001.jpgThis was a 19th century promotional/propaganda map published and distributed by the Kansas Pacific Railway in 1872, with the hopes of getting cattle herders to use their Railway. In the bottom corner it reads "Kansas Pacific Railway: The Best & Shortest Cattle Route of Texas".
This map could also be classified as a Planimetric map, as it shows only basic horizontal details of the land, neglecting any topography.
