Map of the Rio Grande Western Railway — Scenic Line of the World is a spirited 1895 portrait of the American West at high speed. Produced by Poole Brothers, the era’s consummate promoters of rail travel, it traces in arresting red the Rio Grande Western’s principal corridors from Ogden south and east through Utah to Grand Junction, Colorado, and along the Marysvale branch. A web of companion routes appears in contrasting tints, set against a careful blend of topographical shading and political outlines that orients the traveler across state lines, valleys, and ranges. True to its proud subtitle, the sheet is both itinerary and invitation, framing a landscape of bold relief where steel ribbons knit together mines, towns, and markets.
At the heart of the map’s argument is ore. The cartography lingers over Utah’s celebrated mining districts—Dugway, Bingham, Tintic, Henry Mountain, Marysvale—and reaches west to the Deep Creek diggings straddling the Nevada line. Each district is named and situated with purpose, the crimson tracks angling toward smelters, sampling works, and supply depots. Gold and silver headlines gave these camps their glamour; dependable rail service gave them longevity. The result is a visual ledger of extraction and exchange, where every siding and junction confirms how the Rio Grande Western turned remote bonanzas into bankable commerce and linked prospectors’ camps to the countinghouses of Salt Lake City and beyond.
Poole’s engraving lavishes attention on the West’s physical drama. Mountain chains rise and break into basins; rivers and streams are traced from headwaters to confluence. The Wasatch front, the Henry Mountains, and the long escarpments edging the Colorado Plateau are rendered with enough relief to explain the line’s curves and gradients. The Colorado and Green Rivers, the Sevier and their tributaries braid the page, guiding the eye across canyon country and irrigated valleys alike. Far from mere backdrop, this topography is the story’s engine: it is the geography that made a “Scenic Line” plausible, and the engineering puzzle that railmen solved with summits, tunnels, and sinuous alignments.
Cities and settlements are plotted with care, from bustling Ogden and Salt Lake City to Marysvale on the Sevier and Grand Junction at the gateway to Colorado’s Western Slope. Political boundaries are crisply drawn, while the map’s margins glance into Nevada and New Mexico to suggest a wider interline web. On the accompanying verso, vignettes of Temple Square and the Saltair Beach Bathing Resort capture the cultural and recreational heart of late-nineteenth-century Utah—domes, spires, and a pavilion poised above the Great Salt Lake—reminding the viewer that this railway moved pilgrims, tourists, and pleasure-seekers as surely as ore and freight.
Poole Brothers, working at the height of American railroad expansion, specialized in precisely this fusion of utility and persuasion. Their maps served conductors and clerks, but they also sold an idea: that modern mobility could conquer distance, enrich districts, and civilize wilderness without dulling its spectacle. In 1895, when railways were arteries of capital and communication in the interior West, this composition reads as both guide and manifesto. The color-coded routes, the eloquent terrain, the named diggings and junctions—all conspire to place the Rio Grande Western at the center of a transforming region, where steel, water, and ore remade the map as surely as the map recorded the change.

Please double check the images to make sure that a specific town or place is shown on this map. You can also get in touch and ask us to check the map for you.
This map looks great at every size, but I always recommend going for a larger size if you have space. That way you can easily make out all of the details.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 100in (250cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
Please note: the labels on this map are hard to read if you order a map that is 20in (50cm) or smaller. The map is still very attractive, but if you would like to read the map easily, please buy a larger size.
This map is wider than most maps, which would make it a perfect statement piece above a mantelpiece, sofa or desk.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, check out my collection of the best old maps to see if something else catches your eye.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving, anniversary or housewarming gift for someone from the areas covered by this map.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.
Many of our maps and art prints are chosen as thoughtful gifts for homes, offices, studies and meaningful places.
Choose a framed option for the easiest ready-to-hang gift, or choose an unframed print if the recipient may prefer to select their own frame.
We make orders locally in 23 countries around the world, so gifts can often be produced close to the recipient. This helps them arrive faster, travel more safely, and avoid customs or import duty surprises.

Para la mayoría de los pedidos, el tiempo de entrega es de aproximadamente 3 días laborables. Los productos personalizados y a medida tardan más, ya que tengo que hacer la personalización y enviártelo para su aprobación, lo cual suele tardar 1 o 2 días.
Tenga en cuenta que los pedidos enmarcados muy grandes suelen tardar más en fabricarse y entregarse.

Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
Mira algunos ejemplos de mis mapas enmarcados y mapas en lienzo enmarcados.
Alternativamente, también puedo proporcionar mapas antiguos y obras de arte en lienzo, tablero de espuma, papel de algodón y otros materiales.
Si deseas enmarcar tu mapa o obra de arte tú mismo, por favor lee mi guía de tamaños primero.
Mis mapas son reproducciones de mapas originales de altísima calidad.
Obtengo mapas originales y raros de bibliotecas, casas de subastas y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, los restauro en mi taller de Londres y luego uso tintas e impresoras giclée especializadas para crear hermosos mapas que lucen incluso mejor que el original.
Mis mapas están impresos en papel de archivo mate (no brillante) sin ácido que se siente de muy alta calidad y casi como una tarjeta. En términos técnicos, el peso/grosor del papel es de 10 mil/200 g/m². Es perfecto para enmarcar.
Imprimo con tintas pigmentadas Epson ultrachrome giclée UV resistentes a la decoloración, algunas de las mejores tintas que puedes encontrar.
yo también puedo hacer mapas sobre lienzo, trapo de algodón y otros materiales exóticos.
