This is actually a postcard from 1907, it is only 5 inches wide and 6 inches tall. The printing was fantastic and still looks great.

I believe there are no roads shown, only railroad tracks. Please correct me if I am wrong...

Shitloads of old Rand McNally railroad maps here, going back at least to 1884: http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/historicalmaps/

Manunka Chunk, NJ? Oceanus, NY?

I decided to use Google drive as Picasa is going by the wayside soon.

I think I have it set correctly now, please let me know either way in your usual charming manner :pan:

Yeah, it's got railroads and rivers. No interurbans, which existed by then.

part of NJ lore... just like the Old Mine Road, although not as old or interesting...

The Chunk's on 46 north of Buttzville. The DL&W Railroad took a shortcut through the mountain that 46 goes around (originally it came from the Lehigh Valley to a CNJ junction at Hampton; the DL&W gained NYC access with the purchase of the Morris and Essex through Washington). Later a major cutoff was built closer to I-80; NJ Transit is currently working on restoring service on part of it.
