Catalog notes

The Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad’s system is laid over a township-and-range framework, with insets extending the view to the western state and wider connections. This is valuable as a map that joins travel, land subdivision, and commercial geography. Its promotional language deserves a light touch in the caption: describe what the railway claimed to connect without adopting its claims about speed or convenience as established fact.
