It dramatizes one of the SPD's many friendly overtures to communists that for some reason those dastardly authoritarians weren't happy with!

1857 one is halfassed too because by then, during the summer at least, the Great Lakes were used for shipping. The Illinois and Michigan Canal opened in 1848 and the Soo Locks in 1855.

What would've been bringing the travel time down in the three pre-railroad maps? Just more/better roads?

That map has to be only land travel. You can't even see the Mississippi River in any of them despite that being a major avenue for travel.

Reading books about prewar Europe really highlights how stupid the prevailing belief in “national character” was. Also apparently Robet K Massie was friends with Thomas Pynchon.
