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. From Salt Lake City to Denver, this fine map of routes for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad entices the viewer to visit some of the West's greatest attractions including Mesa Verde National Park, Pikes Peak, Santa Fe, and Rocky Mountain National Park.
