About the Item
Title: Antique Minnesota Map Wall Art – Railroads, Lakes
Cities, Rand McNally
Description:
This original antique atlas map depicts the state of Minnesota in rich geographic detail, showing lakes, rivers, railroads, towns, and county boundaries across the state. The composition balances dense information with a refined, orderly layout, giving the map strong decorative appeal despite its technical precision.
Published by Rand, McNally
Co. in the late 19th century, the map captures Minnesota at a key moment of development, when railroad networks were expanding rapidly and shaping settlement patterns. The intricate web of rail lines converging on major cities creates a visually engaging structure that reads almost like a graphic design when viewed from a distance.
Major features such as Lake Superior, the Mississippi River, Red Lake, and Mille Lacs Lake are clearly rendered, alongside important cities and towns including Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, Rochester, Mankato, St. Cloud, Brainerd, and Winona. Northern regions show extensive lakes and forested areas, while the southern portion reveals a denser network of towns and transportation routes.
Printed on original period atlas paper, the sheet retains the authentic surface texture and gentle patina expected of a genuine antique map. Its tall vertical format works particularly well as wall art, lending itself to studies, offices, libraries, or regional and travel-themed interiors.
Condition report: Light age toning consistent with age. Minor edge wear and small handling marks from original atlas binding. Folding line as issued. Overall clean and well preserved.
Framing tips: Especially effective in walnut, light oak, or black frames with an ivory or warm off-white mat. Museum glass recommended.

Maker: Rand, McNally
