About the Item
Antique Map of Ohio – Rand McNally, circa 1888
This highly detailed antique map of Ohio was published by Rand, McNally & Co. around 1888. Issued in their celebrated late 19th-century atlases, the map presents Ohio at a crucial moment in its industrial development, with a focus on its extensive railroad network that linked cities, towns, and rural areas throughout the state.
The map highlights Ohio’s major cities—Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, Akron, and Dayton—alongside a vast number of smaller towns, reflecting the state’s rapid urban and industrial growth during the Gilded Age. County borders are finely drawn, rivers and waterways are clearly marked, and the railroads—shown in red and blue—radiate across the map, underscoring the state’s role as a transportation and manufacturing hub in the American Midwest.
Cleveland, on the shores of Lake Erie, is prominently featured as a major industrial and shipping center, while Columbus, at the heart of the state, appears as an increasingly important political and economic capital. Cincinnati, near the Kentucky border, is shown as a key river city with rail lines branching deep into southern and western territories.
Rand McNally’s maps were prized for their accuracy and clarity, and this example captures Ohio at a time when its coal, steel, and manufacturing industries were booming, and when the railroad network was reaching its peak coverage. It serves as both a functional geographic record and a visually compelling artifact of late 19th-century cartography.
Collectors of American maps, railroad history, or Ohio memorabilia will find this piece a valuable and decorative addition to their collection.

Framing tips:
This map displays beautifully in a dark mahogany or walnut frame with a cream or ivory mat. For a bolder presentation, a black frame with a light grey mat will emphasize the density of railroad lines and engraved detail. A double mat with a hint of red could also highlight the colored railroads.
