This late nineteenth-century atlas map produced by Rand, McNally & Company provides an exceptionally detailed cartographic overview of the state of Michigan during a period of rapid industrial and infrastructural expansion. The main map focuses on the Lower Peninsula, delineating counties with delicate pastel wash outlines and depicting the dense, emerging network of late-Victorian railroads, shipping routes, township grids, and settlements across Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake St. Clair, and Lake Erie. An extensive inset across the top registers the 'Northern Portion of Michigan' (the Upper Peninsula), detailing the rugged shoreline of Lake Superior, Keweenaw Peninsula, Isle Royale, and the crucial rail and mining corridors through Marquette, Houghton, and Iron Mountain. Flanking the map are comprehensive statistical tables and indexes that list total land area, 1890 census demographic figures (including native, foreign, African, and Indian population counts), county locator coordinates, and population figures for major cities and towns of the era.
