Very good. Mounted on linen. Wear along original fold lines and slight loss at some fold intersections. Index on verso. Accompanied by original boards. Size 37 x 48 Inches. This is a c. 1918 National Map Company map of Oregon illustrating the state's first named highways and other roads. Named Highways To a modern-day audience, the most curious aspect of this piece is that none of the highways bear numbers but are identified by name. These include the Pacific Capital Highway, the Columbia River Highway, the Dalles California Highway, the Central Oregon Highway, and the Oregon Trail. Bold red lines highlight these routes, while thinner lines trace Oregon's surprisingly extensive road network. A Closer Look Both existing and proposed railroads add to Oregon's transportation network. Broad red lines outline national forests and other forest reserves. Indian reservations are delineated. Cities, towns, and villages are labeled throughout the state. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the National Map Company c. 1918 in Portland, Oregon. As this map is undated, we have arrived at this date based on an advertisement for the National Map Company at 502 Dekum Building in The Sunday Oregonian on December 15, 1918.

Good. Wear along original fold lines. Slight loss at fold intersections. Map of United States on verso. Size 28.75 x 17.5 Inches. This is a c. 1953 Rand McNally road map distributed by Sinclair Oil. State and interstate highways are noted with urban areas are shaded yellow. The Everglades National Park stands out in pink. Insets in the lower left corner focus on the Florida Panhandle and Cuba. Verso Content A highway map of the United States occupies the verso. National Parks and Monuments are indexed along the right. A chart providing distances between major American cities is situated in the lower left corner. Inset maps of Jacksonville, Orlando, Pensacola, Tallahassee, Palm Beach and West Palm Beach, Tampa and St. Petersburg, and Miami and Miami Beach are included. Publication History This map was created and published by Rand McNally and distributed by Sinclair Oil.

Very good. Exhibits light wear along original fold lines. Blank on verso. Size 21.5 x 36.5 Inches. Published in 1930, this Natural Resources Intelligence Service road map of Canada and the United States highlights the connections between the two countries. Thick red lines trace major and minor highways in both Canada and the United States. Cities and towns are labeled throughout. Gray dotted areas denote national parks in both countries as well, including Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Jasper, and Algonquin. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the Natural Resources Intelligence Service in 1930. A year later, in 1931, the Natural Resources Intelligence Service became the National Development Bureau and took charge of promoting tourism in Canada. This change can be seen in the bureau's maps, as they all changed dramatically in character, if not in content. This map is well represented in institutional collections but uncommon on the private market. References: OCLC 905696207.

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Maps of the United States and Salt Lake City on verso. Accompanied by original binder. Size 27.25 x 21.25 Inches. This is a 1924 Rand McNally road map of Utah. Distributed by the Continental Oil Company, the map highlights Utah's highway network. Several named highways traverse the state, including the Lincoln Highway and the National Park to Park Highway, and are marked by small bold placards along the routes. Cities and towns throughout the state are identified, with the largest cities (such as Salt Lake City) appearing in the largest text. Populations are noted next to many cities and towns, and distances between them are provided. Mountains, lakes, and other landmarks are identified. Advertisements for Conoco Gasoline and the Continental Oil Company occupy the top portion of the sheet above the map. Verso Content Two maps occupy the verso. One is a map of Salt Lake City, which identifies major roadways and railroads within the city. The second is a map of the United States highlighting national parks and monuments across the country. Major parks, such as Yellowstone and Yosemite, are marked using diagonal lines to fill in their area. Forty-eight other parks are marked by stars and numerically identified. These numbers correspond with a key situated in the lower left corner. Twenty-seven named highways across the country, such as the Lincoln Highway, the Dixie Highway, and the Atlantic-Pacific Highway, are illustrated and numerically identified. The corresponding index occupies the lower right corner. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by Rand McNally in 1924 and distributed by the Continental Oil Company. We note a single cataloged example in OCLC which is part of the collection at the Newberry Library. References: OCLC 993879837.

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Closed edge tear professionally repaired on verso. Text on verso. Size 23.25 x 17 Inches. This is a c. 1942 American Automobile Association pictorial tourist road map of Florida. Appealing vignettes and other illustrations beckon tourists to visit Florida and explore all it offers. Bringing Tourists to Florida A map occupies the center of the sheet, and cities, towns, and major state and national highways are illustrated and labeled. Lakes, rivers, several state parks, national forests, and Everglades National Park also appear. An artistically stunning border highlights nine different tourist sites and historic locations throughout Florida, along with the ever-popular pastimes of sunning on the beach and playing golf. Each site featured in the border is also identified on the map by a green text box. Only a handful of these sites are still in operation today. Among these are the Palatka Ravine Gardens in Palatka, originally constructed by the Works Progress Administration in 1934, which are now known as Ravine Gardens State Park, and the Singing Tower is located in the Bok Tower Gardens north of Lake Wales, Florida. Although time has changed St. Petersburg and Daytona Beach, both remain major tourist destinations that draw millions of tourists per year, and the Overseas Highway is still in operation between Miami and Key West. Long Gone Tourist Attractions The Oriental Gardens in Jacksonville, Marine Studios in Marineland, and Clyde Beatty's Jungle Zoo, located outside Fort Lauderdale, however, no longer exist. The Oriental Gardens were originally started by George W. Clark, a Riverside resident and botany enthusiast, who began planting his overflow plants on a vacant bluff overlooking the St. Johns River. Eventually, his private 18-acre estate would be opened to the public and, from 1937 until 1954, served as a major tourist attraction in Jacksonville known as the Oriental Gardens. Today, few remnants of the gardens remain, most of which are hidden away on private home lots. Clyde Beatty's Jungle Zoo was operated by Clyde Raymond Beatty (June 10, 1903 - July 19, 1965), a popular circus performer and famous television and radio personality, near Fort Lauderdale from December 1939 until 1945, when tightening zoning regulations effectively evicted him from the site. Marine Studios, later known as Marineland, was by far the most successful and longest-lived of the now-defunct tourist attractions highlighted here. Founded in 1938 along Highway A1A south of St. Augustine, Marine Studios operated until the mid-1980s, when it was sold by its founder, Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney. Marineland had been the first of its kind, an attraction that brought ocean animals into contact with humanity through oceanariums and several daily shows. The park was reopened in March 2006 after extensive renovations and is now a subsidiary of the Georgia Aquarium. Publication History and Census This map was published by the American Automobile Association in the early 1940s. References: Tampa Bay History Center, Touchton Map Library #L2016.060.007.

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Verso repair to a fold separation. Text and maps of Hilo and Kona on verso. Size 14.25 x 11 Inches. This is a c. 1976 Robert's Lehua Tours pictorial road map of Hawaii. Depicting the entirety of the Big Island, pictorial illustrations of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea immediately draw the eye. Historic lava flows spread out from Mauna Loa, dated by year. Apart from the volcanoes, pictorial vignettes illustrate Hawaiian history, agriculture, industry, and tourist activities. References to missionary activities and Captain Cook's visits appear, along with illustrations of Madame Pele the Fire Goddess and the statue of Kamehameha at Kohala. Golf courses, beaches, airports, and hotels are also identified. Verso Content Two small maps are included on the verso. One details Hilo and labels major streets along with some sites around town. The other illustrates the coast of Kona from Keahole Point to Hockena. Advertisements for services provided by Lehua Tours and other related businesses (all owned by Robert N. Iwamoto (1911 - 1984)) occupy the rest of the verso. Publication History and Census This map was published and distributed compliments of Robert's Lehua Tours c. 1976. We note only one cataloged example, located at the Library of Congress. References: OCLC 5707950.

Average. Backed on archival tissue for stability. A few fold separations and tears. Size 17 x 23.25 Inches. This is a 1914 Kenyon Company road map of Iowa issued with overprinting to promote the Iowa Mutual Tornado Insurance Association. A Closer Look Coverage embraces Iowa. Overprinting in red, green, and blue highlights highways, routes, pikes, railroads, and other roads across the state, each of which is numerically identified. Black lines illustrate 84 more roads, routes, trails, and highways. Cities and towns are labeled across Iowa and into eastern Nebraska and northern Missouri. The Iowa Mutual Tornado Insurance Association The Iowa Mutual Tornado Insurance Association (1884 - Present) is an insurance company in Des Moines, Iowa. It was founded on January 2, 1884, by J. B. Herrisman as the Iowa Mutual Tornado, Cyclone, and Windstorm Insurance Association. It changed its name to the Iowa Mutual Tornado Insurance Association in 1903. The company changed its name again in 1970 to IMT Insurance Company, under which it still operates. Publication History and Census This map was compiled, engraved, printed, and copyrighted by the Kenyon Company in 1914 for the Iowa Mutual Tornado Insurance Association. This is the only known cataloged example.

Average. Wear and toning along fold lines, with loss at fold intersections and edge. Size 24 x 33 Inches. A large-format double-sided map of the United States produced in 1961 by the General Drafting Corporation for Standard Oil of Kentucky (also known as Kyso). Together, they highlight the rapid expansion of highways and interstates across the country, as well as the impact of the development of the oil industry on daily life. A Closer Look The recto map displays the continental United States along with portions of Canada and Mexico. States are shaded different colors to distinguish them more easily. Roads and highways are indicated in detail, as explained in a legend at right, as are cities and waterways. At top, inset maps of the recently added states of Hawaii and Alaska are included. A handy table of approximate distances between major metropolitan areas appears at bottom-left. This map was published in the wake of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which created the U.S. Interstate system, here with both completed and projected routes noted. A text box at bottom touts the natural beauty of the U.S. and discusses the ongoing construction of the interstates. Verso Content A pictorial map of the United States occupies the verso, emphasizing products used throughout the country that are derived from oil. From cosmetics and clothing to chemicals and heavy industry, the message is clear that oil and its derivative products are both extremely versatile and essential for modern life. At top is a history of Standard Oil of Kentucky, which neatly avoids the company's early history as part of the wider Standard Oil Trust, and the latter's breakup due to a Supreme Court decision in 1911, but instead repeatedly emphasizes the company's connections with the South. When folded, the back cover continues this theme, proclaiming that Standard Oil is a southern Company - 'Of the South, By the South, For the South.' Incidentally, the same year this map was published Standard Oil of Kentucky was acquired by Standard Oil of California (Chevron). Publication History and Census These maps were produced in 1961 by the General Drafting Corporation for Standard Oil of Kentucky. They are quite rare in institutional collections, only being listed among the holdings of the University of Kentucky. References: OCLC 35161853.

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Verso repairs to fold separations. Size 23.25 x 18.75 Inches. This is a 1956 Margaret Anderson and R. Bruce Moulder road map of Barbados. Red lines highlight major highways, while red and black dashed lines follow secondary highways. Distances along the major highways are marked by small numbers near the route. Roads marked by two thin black parallel lines are 'other roads' per the key situated in the lower right corner. Symbols mark churches, lighthouses, police stations, and gas stations around the island. Cities, towns, and other settlements are identified, along with coastal locations and various other inland locations. An inset of Bridgetown and its environs is situated in the upper right. Here, Anderson and Moulder identify parks, a playing field, cemeteries, schools, and churches. Publication History and Census This map was compiled by Margaret Swainson Anderson in 1952 and revised by Richard Bruce Moulder in 1956. We have located cataloged examples of earlier and later editions in institutional collections, but the present example of the 1956 edition is the only cataloged example of this edition.

Good. Printed on silk. Exhibits soiling. Some soiling and wear along original fold lines. Size 28.25 x 27 Inches. This is a 1929 Vicente Turell road map of Catalonia, Spain, printed on silk. Created for an automotive guidebook, its publishers hoped to continue to benefit from the relative economic prosperity of the late 1920s. Major roads are traced in red, while advertisements for restaurants, automotive repair shops, and car manufacturers occupy the space created by the Mediterranean. The logo of Saurer, a Swiss automotive company, appears five times in black areas created by the road network, suggesting that Saurer was a significant contributor to the guidebook's publishers. Publication History This map was drawn by Vicente Turell and published in the seventh edition of the Guía del Automovilista by L.G. Seix and Barral Herms of Barcelona in 1929.

Very good. Exhibits light wear and toning along original fold lines. A few minor verso stabilizations. Size 27.25 x 27.75 Inches. This is a 1936 Florida State Road Department map of Florida. Red lines highlight U.S. highway routes and solid black lines mark paved roads. Eleven inset city plans detail various cities, including Orlando, Tallahassee, Daytona Beach, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Miami. An index of counties, cities, and towns appears in the lower left. The whole is surrounded by a pictorial border consisting of vignette views. Among these are the Bok Tower, beaches, hunters, and athletes playing tennis and golf. Florida wildlife, such as alligators, deer, and a puma, also appear. Publication History and Census This map was published by the Florida State Road Department in 1936. It is well represented in institutional collections. References: OCLC 38570300.

Good. Wear along original fold lines. Verso repairs and reinforcements at nearly all fold intersections. Small areas of infill at many fold intersections. Accompanied by original binder. Size 26.5 x 35.75 Inches. A scarce large-format road map of Wisconsin from the early days of automobile travel, produced and published in 1907 by C. S. Mendenhall. It demonstrates the development of (mostly dirt) automobile roads in the state as a growing alternative to railroads. A Closer Look The sheet is divided nearly in half, with a map of the state of Wisconsin and portions of neighboring states at right, and several insets at left. The map of the state displays county boundaries as well as an unnumbered grid. Roads are highlighted, with the quality of road noted as well as distances between cities and larger towns, with careful attention paid to cataloging the small towns automobile routes. Railroads are also indicated, though much less prominently. The insets include a road map of the area around Minneapolis - St. Paul, a similar map of the region around Madison, a city plan and road map of Chicago, and a road map of Milwaukee and environs. Good Roads Everywhere The movement for 'good roads' predated the widespread adoption of automobiles, and was initially led by bicyclists and advocates for the addition of rural post offices. 'Good roads' initially meant graded dirt roads as opposed to the bumpy, winding, and poorly maintained wagon routes that existed in most parts of the United States. But the increased production and affordability of automobiles led to greater emphasis by interest groups and affiliated businesses on paved (asphalt, gravel, macadamized, or concrete) roads suitable in all weather conditions, no small feat in places like Wisconsin which saw cold weather and precipitation for much of the year. By the 1910s, the good roads movement has developed a vision of paved automobile roads crossing and connecting the country, a precursor to a national highway network and eventually the interstate system. Publication History and Census This map was prepared and published by C.S. Mendenhall in Cincinnati in 1907. The OCLC only notes it among the holdings of the Milwaukee Public Library and the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. In 1900, Mendenhall had published a somewhat similar map ('Mendenhall's road map of Wisconsin : showing through bicycle routes in the state, location of towns, post offices, R.R., etc.', held and digitized by the Wisconsin Historical Society) focusing on bicycle routes. Though most of the main routes are the same, a comparison of the two maps highlights the shifting emphasis towards automobiles and the proliferation of 'good roads'. References: OCLC 1341405175.

Very good. Exhibits wear along original fold lines. Verso repair at a fold intersection and at fold separations. Closed margin tear professionally repaired on verso. Text and printed maps on verso. Size 39.75 x 17.75 Inches. This is a c. 1950s Rand McNally pictorial road map of Florida designed for the Gulf Oil Corporation. The map depicts the state from Tallahassee and the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean and from Georgia to Key West. Highly detailed, myriad cities and towns throughout Florida are labeled, including Tallahassee, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami. Everglades National Park occupies a large portion of the southern part of the state, while other national forests, state parks, and state forests are scattered throughout. Other tourist destinations, such as the Devil's Punch Bowl, the circus winter quarters, and the Ocean Beach Speedway are highlighted by small, eye-catching vignettes. Florida is a major destination for fishing enthusiasts, and this map highlights thirty-two different species of fish that could be caught in Florida's rivers and lakes, as well as along its coastlines. Publication History and Census This map was designed by Rand McNally for the Gulf Oil Company and published in the 1950s. At least two states of this map were published. One state (of which the offered example is representative) includes an inset key map to the right of the map's title. On the other state this key map is absent. Unfortunately we are not certain which state precedes the other.

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Blank on verso. Size 33.5 x 22.5 Inches. This is a 1944 Army Map Service road map of northern Luzon in the Philippines. The map depicts the region from the South China Sea and the Mindoro Strait to Cataduanes Island and from Fuga Island and Camiguin Island to Mindoro and the Sibuyan Sea. Roads throughout the region are highlighted in red and are not limited to Luzon alone. Roads of varying grades are also differentiated, with thick red lines denoting 'surfaced, all-weather, regularly maintained' roads, while 'partly surfaced, dry-weather' roads are marked by solid and white dashed lines. Not surfaced roads are illustrated by two thin parallel red lines, while a thin solid red lines mark tracks. Trails are noted by thin dashed lines. Cities and towns throughout the region are labeled, including Manila, Pasay, and Lingayen. Bays, gulfs, points, and peninsulas all along the coast are identified as well, as are the myriad small islands surrounding Luzon. Three insets situated along the right border highlight Lingayen and the immediate vicinity, Manila Bay, and Sorsogon Bay. A small index map situated below the bottom border illustrates and identifies all thirty-three provinces depicted here. Publication History This map was created by the Army Map Service of the U.S. Army in 1944.

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Booklet cover on verso. Size 18.25 x 30 Inches. This is a 1960 folding road map of Iran, prepared by Abbas Sahab, Iran's most prominent contemporary map publisher. It reflects the heavy investments in infrastructure undertaken by the Shah's government in the preceding years. A Closer Look Iran is presented with red overprint indicating provinces and light blue overprint used to display waterways. True to the title, the main focus is on infrastructure, with roads of several grades, railways, and air routes denoted, along with projected routes of each. Distances by road between cities are written along roads. Cities and towns, oil pipelines, administrative boundaries, and archaeological ruins are also recorded. An inset relief map of Iran appears at left, reflecting the country's famous mountainous terrain, while a large table of distances between cities appears at bottom-left. One curious feature of this map is the inclusion of Bahrain as part of Iran; this was the position of the Shah and the Iranian government at the time, based on the (generally quite indirect) rule of Bahrain by the Safavid and Zand Dynasties in the 17th and 18th centuries. Publication History and Census This map was prepared by Abbas Sahab's Geographical and Drafting Institute in Iran. It is the second ('new') edition of the map, originally published in 1958. Later editions would continue to be published in the early 1980s. The present edition is listed among the holdings of ten institutions in the OCLC. References: OCLC 25416389, 751539810.
