The accompanyingmap shows the connecting lines of Western Pennsylvania,Ohio, Indiana and Southern Michigan, together with a fewroads nearing completion; it is not intended to be a completemap of all the roads in this district. The present longest pos-sible continuous trip is from Corry, Pa., to Kalamazoo, Mich.,about 480 miles. From Dennison, Ohio, to Bay City, Mich.,gives a trip of about 450 miles.
