Russian schematic map of the Ussuriysk, Manchurian, and Korean Railroads published shortly after the Russo-Japanese War. Railways were an important tool for Russia's westward expansion and railway construction continued even after the Russian defeat against Japan. According to a key at the bottom of the map, double black lines indicates that two lines have been built, a single black line means that only one line has been built, red lines are routes currently under construction, and dashed lines are proposed, but not yet underway. The black triangles indicate the positions of Japanese troops, making Russia's continued military interest in this region plain.
