EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the historic National Road route as depicted on an 1870s map of the United States. The vibrant colors bring to life the intricate details of this important trail that played a crucial role in the westward expansion of America during the 19th century.
The National Road, also known as the National Pike or National Turnpike, was one of the first major improved highways built by the federal government. Stretching from Cumberland, Maryland to Vandalia, Illinois, it served as a vital transportation artery for settlers moving westward and goods being transported across the country.
The engraving on this vintage map showcases not only the physical route of the road but also highlights various territories and frontier regions along its path. It is a true representation of American history and heritage, capturing a time when travel was arduous yet essential for progress.
As we gaze upon this old-fashioned illustration, we are reminded of how far our nation has come and how integral roads like these were in shaping our country's landscape. This piece serves as a beautiful tribute to those who paved the way for future generations to thrive in this vast land we call home.
