How did advances in transportation link resources, products and markets?
• Remember the Transcontinental Railroad?
• Well, there is a little bit more to it than that….

What else is there?• The resources needed for the
factories were things like iron ore from Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Copper & lead were mined in New Mexico Arizona and Utah.
• It would be very expensive to try to take this things to the factories by wagon it wasn’t worth the price or trouble.
• With the advances in transportation, like the railroad, these materials could be transported easy, cheaper and in greater quantity.

Wait, there’s more…
• Sometimes resources were moved with ships, especially in the Great Lakes area.
• Did you ever wonder why so many big cities were near waterways?

Still More
• Once the resources got to the factories they were used to provide energy for the factory or make goods for the factory to sell.
• The more resources a factory had the more goods or products they could sell.

• A manufacturing area is exactly what it says, an area where there is manufacturing.
• What is manufacturing?

Centers of Population
• Manufacturing areas were clustered near centers of population.
• What does clustered mean?
• What does center of population mean?
• Why is the statement true?
