With the railroad engine "San Francisco" as the cartouche. Shows railroad lines of the eastern half of the U.S. going west to Nebraska and Texas. Includes 4 inset maps. Copyrighted in 1868, although Modelski shows no earlier edition than 1871. With lists of all the railroads in the United States, length of track and cost of road and equipment. The style of the map is very different from the later Watson maps of the mid 1870's -- it is more diagrammatic, showing only the railroads and drainage and political boundaries. Catalogue of Watson's maps on inside front cover. Outline color by state; covers are dark brown cloth 18 x 12 stamped with "Watson's rail-road and distance map of United States and Canada." Prime meridians: Greenwich and Washington.
