Pre-war Wide-Area Railway Map

A rare and highly detailed pre-war railway map
covering the entire railway networks of Japan, Korea, and Manchuria
at the height of their development in 1939.

Highlights:

Complete railway systems of Japan (national & private lines)

Korean Peninsula railway network under Japanese administration

Manchukuo railways including Hsinking, Harbin, Mukden, Dalian

This map captures the transportation geography of East Asia
during one of its most dynamic historical periods.

Such wide-area railway maps are increasingly scarce,
especially well-preserved examples,
and are highly valued by collectors of transportation history,
Asian geopolitics, and pre-war cartography.
