Maps, Part 2

In another attempt to assist readers of Palouse Rails: Granger Railroads of the Inland Northwest, here is a series of view-able maps covering each of the railroads that are the subjects of the book. Click on the link below each image, and a second window will open to the full-size image in my Flickr account. See the bottom of this page for notes regarding the maps.



Spokane & Inland Empire (Great Northern)

Spokane, Portland & Seattle


Camas Prairie RR

Washington, Idaho & Montana Ry.

Note: the source map for most of the lines in question is a 1906 ORR&N promotional map from my collection. The darker black lines are those of the ORR&N, while other lines are shown as smaller black lines. Since some of the lines addressed in the book were not in place when this map was first published, I have attempted to show their approximate location relative to the lines that are included on the map.
