DESCRIPTION: C. A. Dietemann's scare pictorial map: Denver and Rio Grande Western (D&RGW) Railroad Scenic Line of the World spans four panels of a six-panel promotional brochure for the railroad featuring the Royal Gorge Route and the James Peak Route with the Moffat Tunnel, cutting through the Continental Divide. The map, dating from the mid 1930's features a wide expanse of the west including portions of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona.

Dietemann's pictograms on this lithographed pictorial map feature numerous outdoor activities such as hiking, tennis, skiing, hunting, tobogganing, and fishing.

The D&RGW entered bankruptcy in 1935 and was not able to emerge from that status until 1947.
