The guide has nearly 300 pages of station-by-station description and travelogue of the Northern Pacific Railroad in the 1880s, and of the associated railroads running from Wisconsin and Minnesota into Washington and Oregon. The book provides contemporary histories of the settlements, the native and immigrant peoples, and the recently concluded Indian Wars of the region. The engravings show early settlement and landmarks along the NPRR line, and a color map of the northwestern United States locates the various rail lines of the NPRR system.
