Rail Road Maps

Where can I find rail road map from back in 1904?

Not quite sure just what you're asking for.  The Official Guides printed what the companies provided which more often than not included a route map of their railroad. Important connecting lines were shown but their competitors were invisible.

Before 1900, the front of the Guide would have a map of the USA showing all of the railroads but was sectionalized over a dozen or more pages in a scale that was not too useful. 

I have seen old wall maps put out by the publishing firms but have never seen advertisements for maps for specific years.  I was given an old wall map but it's in such bad shape I've never hung it.
