I don't see why this would be surprising. Politics and geography haven't changed that much in the last 150 years. The telegraph cables linked up the technically advanced population centers, and fiber optic cables do the same thing now. The technically advanced population centers are more or less the same now as they were then, so it makes sense the maps are similar.
