Union Pacific Railroad Overland Route Map

This detailed map highlights the Union Pacific Railroad’s Overland Route across the United States, connecting the eastern cities with the western frontier. The map showcases railroads branching out across the country, emphasizing the pivotal role of the Union Pacific in cross-country travel and trade during the late 19th century. With red and black lines tracing the railway network, it offers an important glimpse into the expansion of the U.S. rail system that fueled western settlement, economic growth, and national unification.

I personally digitally restore and clean up the original scanned image, adjusting colors, exposure, and fixing blemishes to produce a high-quality print. However, to maintain the vintage look and historical accuracy, I retain some imperfections.

What Makes My Prints Different

Sure, you might find similar prints elsewhere, but not all prints are equal. I use a high-end lab with professional photo printers, high-quality archival inks, and acid-free archival Lustre paper—a premium, heavier paper offering vibrant colors with a fingerprint-resistant, glare-free matte finish. Prints are available in all popular sizes; select your size when ordering. Please note that listing photos are low resolution, but high-resolution files are used for printing. Prints are unframed; frames shown are for illustration purposes only.

Shipping

Prints are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit. They are shipped flat in a rigid box or rolled in a sturdy mailing tube, depending on size. Please refer to the shop’s policies for additional shipping information.
