Highway Map and Guide of California and Nevada

Aurora, Mo. Mid-West Map Company, [1933?]. Folding map, 21.75 x 17 inches. Printed in blue. Light wear and soiling, some faint dampstaining. Tape repairs at central corner folds on verso. Good. Item #806

Folding highway map of California and Nevada, with extensive advertising for the Palms Tourist Camp in Los Angeles. The map key delineates paved, graded, and unimproved roads, as well as connecting county roads. Interestingly, much of the Pacific Coast Highway is identified as either graded or unimproved, and almost none of Nevada's roads are paved. Numerous small towns are marked, as are national parks. It seems likely that the general map information was printed with space left for custom sponsorship, such as that of the Palms Tourist Camp on the present example. One copy in OCLC, at Cornell University.
