Image of a map of Maine showing the railroad routes of the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad, and the proposed Allagash route, with campsites and hotels identified. Probable date based on the inclusion in image of spur from Mapleton to Presque Isle which was opened in 1910 (Poor's Manual of Railroads, 1917, page 158) and the history of the railroad; the company filed plans for the proposed Allagash extension with the Maine Railroad Commissioners in January 1911. "Rand Avery Supply Co. Engravers and Printers, Boston"--text, bottom right of title inset. "American Express Company / Transacts the Express business on the Bangor & Aroostook and / other important Railroads in the United States and Canada."--text, bottom center of title inset.
