Rand, McNally & Co.'s New Business Atlas Map of Ohio, issued in 1911, distills the state’s political and commercial backbone into a lucid, color-rich portrait. In characteristic Rand McNally fashion, pastel county blocks create immediate legibility, while a web of red rail lines declares the primacy of steel rails in an age before numbered highways. A left-margin index of chief cities and railroads turns the sheet into a working tool, transforming geography into logistics. Major roads are traced across the counties, indicating the nascent overland routes merchants and motorists were beginning to claim in the Good Roads era. The composition balances elegance and utility, with crisp labeling and spare ornamentation that let information breathe. It is a snapshot of Ohio at the height of Progressive Era growth, when infrastructure equaled opportunity.
Framed by Lake Erie to the north and the sinuous Ohio River to the south, the map anchors counties to waterways that powered settlement and trade. The Maumee funnels grain and manufactured goods into Toledo; the Cuyahoga arcs inland toward Cleveland’s docks; the Scioto and Muskingum stitch central towns to river markets; the Great Miami drains the industrial southwest. Pastel boundaries sharpen the eye to courthouse towns, while roads radiate from each seat like spokes, binding farm districts to depots. Along the borders with Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky, trunk lines stride east–west, stitching Chicago and the Atlantic through Ohio’s heartland. The glaciated northwest resolves into a tidy lattice of townships and highways, while the hill country of the southeast corrals rails and roads into winding valleys.
Urban Ohio commands attention. Cleveland’s lakefront, Toledo’s harbor, and the manufacturing powerhouse of Cincinnati form nodes where red rails thicken into yards and junctions. Columbus, rising as an administrative and educational center, sits amid a hub of converging lines, radiating reach in every direction. Akron’s ascent in rubber and Youngstown’s steel valley signal the era’s energy, while Dayton’s inventive workshops made the Miami Valley a laboratory of modern industry. Hamilton, showcased later in the inset, anchors production along the Great Miami River. Together these cities represent the period’s urban constellation, linked by competing carriers—Pennsylvania Railroad, New York Central affiliates, the Baltimore & Ohio, the Erie, and the Nickel Plate—ensuring dense freight and passenger schedules. The map’s index inventories these places alongside the arteries that sustained them.
The dedicated inset of Hamilton County offers a more intimate view of the bustling southwest corner. Here the street grid tightens, bridges span the Ohio and Great Miami Rivers, and rail spurs fork toward factories, warehouses, and switching grounds. Cincinnati’s prominence justifies the magnification: riverfront wharves, hillside neighborhoods, and interlaced rights-of-way required a scale where names, junctions, and crossings could be read at a glance. Suburban municipalities and townships resolve clearly, mapping the metropolitan fabric that fed the city’s markets and workshops. Roads climb outward toward neighboring counties, marking commercial corridors that braided hinterland and metropolis. The inset encapsulates Rand McNally’s business ethos: provide the granular geography a shipper or traveler needs to match goods, routes, and time with confident efficiency.
Rand McNally & Company, a titan of early twentieth-century American cartography, perfected the marriage of elegant design and practical intelligence. Their Business Atlas series equipped rail agents, wholesalers, and salesmen with current boundaries, carrier lists, and route options, rendered in a restrained palette that made complex systems instantly readable. On this Ohio sheet, typographic hierarchy separates county seats from minor towns; color coding clarifies jurisdictions without clutter; and red rails command attention where commerce truly flowed. The result is both a lucid guide and a cultural artifact of pre-interstate mobility. For historians it reveals settlement patterns and industrial corridors; for connoisseurs it offers a beautifully ordered composition; for the entrepreneur of 1911 it was a working instrument—precise, navigable, and alive with opportunity.

Please double check the images to make sure that a specific town or place is shown on this map. You can also get in touch and ask us to check the map for you.
This map looks great at every size, but I always recommend going for a larger size if you have space. That way you can easily make out all of the details.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 50in (125cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
Please note: the labels on this map are hard to read if you order a map that is 16in (40cm) or smaller. The map is still very attractive, but if you would like to read the map easily, please buy a larger size.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.

Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving, anniversary or housewarming gift for someone from the areas covered by this map.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.

Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
