Condition: Fine. Although federal legislation to construct the Interstate Highway System had been passed under Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956, this map of the area around Miami only labels numbered highways and state route numbers. U.S. Highway 1, seen here connecting Ft. Lauderdale to Miami, would eventually become part of the nation's longest interstate - I-95. In addition to showing road information, the map also lists locations of interest and summarizes the high points of various towns and cities. Insets of Key West, the Overseas Highway, Palm Beach and Florida's East Coast complete the view. A small scale map of Miami and Miami Beach is available on the verso.

Condition: Fine. "The "Jamestown Festival" took place over an eighth month period in Virginia during 1957, to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the settlement's founding. This pictorial map was issued to commemorate the event and provides a historical overview of life in colonial America between the original landing at Jamestown and the Revolution. Numerous vignettes accompanied by succinct captions highlight many of the important places, people, and events that led to the formation of the United States in the late 18th century. The various flags of colonial America can be seen at the top of the sheet, while a brief paragraph provides a whitewashed summary of the events that led to the conquest of the continent. The verso shows vivid reproductions of several early important maps of America, including John Smith's map of Virginia, John White's map of North Carolina, and surveys of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and New Orleans. Published in 1957 by the General Drafting Company on behalf of Esso Oil."

Bright colors highlight each major acquisition, with the major trails that facilitated Westward Expansion also colored and labeled. Small illustrations throughout the map and across the top reflect the historical development of the nation, especially in terms of its transportation system.

Condition: Fine. This Spanish-language map of South America was published around 1955 by the General Drafting Company to promote ESSO oil products and encourage motor tourism across the continent. One side presents a beautiful pictorial map that completely omits national borders. Dozens of vibrantly illustrated vignettes highlight South America's myriad of attractions, historic sites, natural features, and recreational opportunities. A brief description of each country is accompanied by an image of its flag. The verso is a more traditional road map of the continent, with an index of cities and towns and an inset physical map.

Condition: Fine. Though it would ultimately extend across the entire breadth of the state, what you're seeing here is the first section of the newly constructed Pennsylvania Turnpike - approximately 160 of the 360 completed miles. Opened between Carlisle and Irwin on Oct. 1, 1940, the route (highlighted in red) is billed as 'America's Greatest Highway' on this promotional brochure by General Drafting Company. Pictorial illustrations highlight many of the local attractions along the toll road as well as the numerous tunnels and bridges necessary to traverse the mountainous terrain. Service stations are also noted, allowing the motorist to stay refreshed without a long detour. An inset in the lower right shows a typical traffic interchange, with the toll booth located on entry/exit ramp.

Condition: Fine. This detailed road map of New York state was created and published by General Drafting Company, Inc. on behalf of the Standard Oil Company of New York (Socony) in 1926. Socony (today's Mobil Corporation) was established in 1911 as one of the 34 smaller companies created by the dissolution of Standard Oil due to its monopolistic practices in the industry. Primary, first, and second-class roads are highlighted in solid and hollow orange lines, respectively, while other transportation routes are noted according to the legend in the lower center. Distances between points are noted, providing a useful aid for travelers. Inset maps on the recto and verso show Long Island, New York City, Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo, Albany, Troy, and Utica. 'Common Sense Rules of the Road' and a comprehensive index of towns and cities are also provided on the verso. Sheet Width (in) 27.8 Sheet Height (in) 21.7 Condition Description Creasing along originally issued fold lines and some minor wear and soiling visible in the outer margins of the sheet.

Heroic feats from Leif Ericsson's first landfall in Greenland in 1000 to Roald Amundsen's all-water transit of the Northwest Passage in 1906 are commemorated according to the legend in the lower left. Three inset maps along the bottom show further explorations across both poles and throughout North America. A fourth inset map, as well as several of the more recent 'explorers' routes, reflects the ongoing tension between the Soviet Union and United States. The orbits of Sputnik, Explorer I, and Echo I highlight how the U.S. has recently (temporarily) surpassed the U.S.S.R. in the Space Race, while the route of the Lucky Lady (1949) and Triton (1960) within the main image showcase U.S. military technology during the Cold War. The map was published in 1961 by General Drafting Company on behalf of Prudential Insurance. What does insurance have to do with exploration, you ask? An advertisement on the verso provides a loose connection by suggesting "most men chart a secure course for their families' future." Sheet Width (in) 36 Sheet Height (in) 24.9 Condition Description "Originally issued folded into 10 panels, with moderate wear and creasing along fold lines.

Published by c. 1955, 1955
Condition: Fine. Designed by the General Drafting Company and published by the Esso (S-O, a company created from the dissolution of Standard Oil) Oil Company in the mid 1950's, this pictorial map highlights the industrial, agricultural, and recreational bounty of the postwar United States. Small, charming illustrations showing all that America has to offer can be found in every state and along every coast. Emphasis and priority is given to regional exports and local financial engines like manufacturing, produce, etc., but numerous prominent landmarks are also featured; blurring the distinction between cultural identity and economic development. Three insets at the bottom of the sheet show oil production, refineries and pipelines across the United States. According to text on the verso, the map was designed to be hung in a classroom and was distributed freely simply by inquiring with Esso's marketing department. By broadly circulating material such as this, a global oil company was able to successfully associate their financial success with the economic well-being of an entire nation! Sheet Width (in) 35.9 Sheet Height (in) 23.9 Condition Description Originally folded into a 24 panel brochure. Creasing along original fold lines and a few pinholes in the outer margins from where the map was previously hung. Otherwise in excellent condition.
Published by 1942 - 1944, 1942
Condition: Very Good. "This group of three maps was published by the General Drafting Company of New Jersey on behalf of the Esso Oil Corporation. Brief descriptions of each follow: Esso War Map Featuring Transportation - The focus of this Esso War Map (one of three published by the oil company during the war) is on global transportation. The main map presents the world on the Miller Cylindrical Projection and emphasizes distances by sea. A smaller inset map, using a North Polar projection, shows a different perspective and stresses the length between various points by air. The verso presents a host of Esso related propaganda about how oil is directly related to the war effort. "Fuel for Speed and Power," "War-Time Lubricants," "Rubber from Oil" and more! An interesting piece of wartime promotion that shows one way some Americans would have consumed information about the ongoing conflict overseas. Esso War Map II Featuring the World Island - The primary image shows the Eastern Hemisphere between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. A standard political map with supplemental war information. The verso includes a more detailed picture of the European and North African theaters, with accompanying text detailing 'The Geography of Global Warfare.' Esso War Map III Featuring the Pacific Theater - This is an incredibly detailed overview of the Pacific Theater, showing infrastructure, topography, place names and more. Japan, the Philippines and numerous insets are presented on one side, while a small scale map of the entire theater is on the other. Individually numbered locations correspond to the separately published Esso War News, making the overall piece a formidable source of wartime intelligence for the armchair generals at home." Sheet Width (in) 32.75 Sheet Height (in) 22.5 Condition Description "Three folding maps, each measuring approximately 32.75" x 22.5", with creasing and moderate wear along fold lines. One hole in Map No. II, and several areas of separation and tearing along fold lines on the other sheets. Each remains in good condition overall.".
Condition: Fine. This colorful overview of the United States highlights the gradual development of the modern day conception of America and its overseas possessions. Various stages of the country's development are shown in different shades, with little mention of the inevitable conflict resulting from the growth. Major early trails and roads are also colored and labeled, linking America's expansion and apparently inevitable success with its system of transportation. The attempted association is unsurprising, given the image was produced and distributed by General Drafting Company, a division of the Esso Oil Company and strong proponent of the growing Interstate Highway System. The verso of the image features an attractive pictorial map of early colonial America, with numerous illustrated vignettes showing important historical events east of the Mississippi River. Accompanying the map is a list of Famous Flags of Colonial America and a brief Euro-centric history of the early colonization of the continent. Sheet Width (in) 33.5 Sheet Height (in) 23.9 Condition Description Originally folded into 20 panels, with faint creasing along fold lines. Otherwise in fine condition.
Published by c. 1946, 1946
Condition: Very Good. "This attractive pictorial map of New York was designed by the General Drafting Company and published in Albany by the New York State Department of Commerce in 1946. With the horrors of World War II in the rearview, the map leverages the New York's relatively short (Western) history to highlight its incredible rise to the status of "Empire State." Illustrated vignettes show prominent figures, historic sites, recreational opportunities, industrial products, and notable events. A brief essay in the lower left, written by Dr. Albert B. Corey, provides a timeline of New York history from Henry Hudson into the 1940s, though there is no reference to either WWI or WWII. Additional text in the upper right presents contemporary statistics and facts that would have been very persuasive to individuals and businesses looking to relocate in the postwar years. Source: Rumsey 8987.000" Sheet Width (in) 39.25 Sheet Height (in) 29.5 Condition Description Moderate wear and creasing along former fold lines. Moderate wear along the outer edges of the sheet, most evident in the lower right with a few small tears and chips in the paper. One damp stain in the center-right, just to the left of the NEW YORK STATE INSIGNIA text. Between good and very good overall.
Condition: Fine. Published near the beginning of air travel's ascendancy (overtaking rail), this pictorial map outlines the flight routes available to travelers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico shortly after the end of WWII. Routes operated by American and other companies are shown, as this was a time when regional airlines still dominated a large section of the market. The workhorse of the fleet, the DC-3, is shown on the cover and revolutionized consumer air travel in the United States. However, a coast-to-coast flight would still require several refueling stops and take as long as 20 hours! Small illustrations highlight many of the natural attractions, historic sites, and important landmarks accessible by air across the country, and strip maps on the verso provide further information on twelve of the most popular routes across the country. Sheet Width (in) 31.75 Sheet Height (in) 23.75 Condition Description Very light wear and creasing along originally issued fold lines. Near fine condition overall.
