The temperance movement enthusiastically circulated versions of this allegorical map based on the notion of alcohol as a train ride to destruction, the "Black Valley Rail Road." Destinations are detailed on the verso, 1066.02. Passengers embark in the sunny "region of fountains, churches and ministering angels" at the upper left. They proceed through a few stops suggesting moderation (Medicineville, Tippleton) to Drunkards Curve, "the last stopping place," illustrated. From there, the route includes Beggarstown, Gamblersville, Robbers Den, Prisonton, Demonland, Maniacville and finally, Destruction. "Accidents by collisions entirely avoided, as no up trains are run over the road." (Jordan 2007, 81-84). In 1879, the father of the Black Valley Rail Road wrote that "more than three millions . . . have been called for, not including the altered forms of it surreptitiously published by the N. Y. Vinegar Bitters Co." (Hanks 1879, 5).
