Whitney -- Great Northern Railway and connections. This is a promotional map for The Great Northern Railway, seeking customers ready to join the Klondike Gold Rush. The map uses large red letters to label numerous fields of gold, oil and coal. Red, dashed lines suggest easy access to these areas via steamship and trains when in fact, passage to these interior lands was difficult. Few maps of the Yukon and Alaska existed when the gold rush hit. Many companies, such as the Poole Brothers of Chicago who prepared this map for the Great Northern Railway Company, rushed to create maps to meet demand. Accuracy and detail were often of little concern. Companies like the Great Northern Railway stood to make a fortune transporting Yukon-bound gold seekers. Such a map would be useless to a prospector. -ARC- Color 1:4,400,000 Map Northwest Territories Alaska Yukon University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee: UWM Libraries Digital Collections Yukon Northwest Territories Klondike River ENVELOPE(-139.442,-139.442,64.054,64.054)
