    No Binding. Condition: Very Good. 13 x 7" map printed in color on one side that folds to about 2 x 3" and fits into a stiff card folder printed in blue. Front panel of card folder has the following information: "Compliments of F.M. Luther & Sons Brokers, Cimarron, Kansas." Map is in near fine condition with one short separation closed with archival repair and no markings. Card stock folder slightly worn and slightly soiled. The Clason Map Company operated in Denver from the early 1900s until the Depression. It published numerous maps in different forms, including a "midget map" series. The distributor of this map, F. M. Luther & Sons, was a real estate brokerage headed by Francis [Frank] Luther, one of the founders of Cimarron, Kansas. I dated this map using a couple of named Kansas highways. The Carrie Nation Highway was established in 1917 and is shown on this map; but this map lacks a "Victory Highway" which was designated ca. 1921. A relatively rare map of Kansas.

The small mountain town is circled in an inset in the lower left, off the "highly improved" State Highway 19. The wider lines indicating paved roads (the "best" referred to in the title) are generally concentrated in urban areas and the immediate suburbs. National trails and designated routes are also marked, but the condition of these roads varied as they were often sponsored by local travel organizations or trade groups, sponsored by businesses along the way. An index of cities throughout the state, each with their respective estimated population, can be seen flanking either side of the image. The map was published by the Clason Map Company in 1925 (dated according to calendars on the inside cover) and distributed by the Tryon Development Company."

    Condition: Fine. "This detailed motor map of Washington State was published in 1925 by the Clason Map Company and distributed by Western Auto Supply So., according to the bold advertisements on the covers. Originally founded as a mail-order business for replacement automobile parts in Kansas City in 1909 (the year after the Model T was introduced) the first Western Auto retail store didn't open until 1921. Within a few short years, the number of establishments grew to over 100, operating primarily on the West Coast. The map highlights the paved roads, through routes, and other thoroughfares across the state. The inclusion of both pole markings (for auto trails) and numbered state highways reflect the conflicting system of roadway identification that was endemic until the widespread adoption of the U.S. Numbered Highway System (1926). An index of cities and their respective populations can be found on the left and right sides. The verso presents a simple map of the roads around the Puget Sound region, with connections shown to Mt. Rainier National Park. Source."

    Condition: Very Good. This fabulously detailed road map of California shows the burgeoning transportation network across the state in the mid-1920s. Main roads predate the numbered highway system and are individually labeled, like the Roosevelt National Trail, El Camino Real, and Pike's Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway. The various paths were undoubtedly surfaced with a variety of materials like macadam, gravel, dirt, and tar - there's even a wooden 'planked road' across the desert of Imperial County. Inset maps of the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas can be seen in the upper right and lower left, respectively. Published around 1924 in Denver by the Clason Map Company. Includes the accompanying guidebook, which presents more detailed street plans of California urban centers and an extensive index of cities and towns. Sheet Width (in) 27.5 Sheet Height (in) 33.75 Condition Description Originally issued folded into 48 panels, now separated from accompanying guidebook (64 pp., still present) and flattened. Former separation at fold intersections has been repaired on the verso, along with a few small edge tears. Minor discoloration and light offsetting visible in a few places, but overall the map and book both remain in good condition.

"This early road map of Indiana was issued just a few years after the first Federal Highway Act (1921), and shows how some of the first automobile routes developed throughout the state. State highways, partially funded by the federal government, are indicated with a small square number. National Trails and other marked routes (often sponsored by local businesses) are identified in the upper right corner and labeled individually within the image. Distances between points are also noted (in miles), and an index of towns and their population is provided at the bottom of the sheet. The map was published in 1925 by the Clason Map Company and issued by The Detroit News. Advertising the for the latter can be seen on the original covers, which assures the reader that the Detroit News has "been in the van of good road movements, safety measures, and everything that makes motoring a pleasure and safe." Sheet Width (in) 20.8 Sheet Height (in) 27.6 Condition Description Near fine condition. Originally issued folded into 35 panels with original orange paper covers.

Earlier hashed lines show the tremendous gains Germany had made earlier in the war with the (almost) successful implementation of the Schlieffen Plan - a huge "right hook" that cut through Belgium southwards to Paris. The line of furthest advance highlights just how close they came to besieging the city - barely 40 miles. The bottom of the sheet presents a number of inset maps showing the primary fortresses in Belgium and France, including the myriad of satellite forts surrounding each. In these maps, it's easy to visualize how such complex networks of immense fortifications contributed to the static nature of trench warfare that came to define the First World War." Sheet Width (in) 34 Sheet Height (in) 28 Condition Description As issued originally -folded into fifty panels and affixed to two tone pictorial paper covers. Moderate creasing along the fold lines, though no discoloration or breakage. The covers are worn and a bit soiled. Near fine condition overall.

    Condition: Fine. "According to some incredible research by Carl Liedholm of Michigan State University, the Clason Map Company of Denver, Colorado first started creating pocket guides in 1906, three years after its earliest maps were issued. These were focused on the cities of Denver and Colorado Springs, but would eventually broaden to encompass entire states. In 1908, the iconic green covers were introduced, and in 1920 the name 'Green Guide' was formally adopted. Liedholm states "The Green Guides were a unique product of the Clason Map Company. They were pocket sized (approximately 4" x 6") guides that were published for many states and several cities. Each guide consisted of a booklet, ranging in length from 15 to over 60 pages with detailed information about the state or city, and one or more large maps that were pasted within the covers. Each of the state guides included a commercial index of the cities and towns that provided information on their individual populations, elevations, industries, hotels, and banks. In addition, there was general information about the state that would be of interest to the traveler on such topics as state history, scenic wonders, national parks, roads, railways, and "interesting facts about the state." Downtown city maps and pictures were incorporated into the textual descriptions." This is a fine example of the 1931 edition of Clason's Green Guide of Nevada, the last year the company published the guidebooks. A double-sided folding map of both California and Nevada shows a basic overview of both states with insets of San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The verso focuses entirely on the road system, using a variety of lines to differentiate between surface composition and State and U.S. Highways. The guidebook includes a street plan of Reno and its downtown district and a view of the capitol building at Carson City, in addition to the aforementioned generalized contents. Source."

    Condition: Very Good. "This fascinating city plan and street index of Denver, Colorado was issued locally by the Clason Map Company around 1908, based on the buildings listed. It shows an orderly street grid with transit routes and boulevards given extra attention, as outlined in the accompanying legend at the top of the sheet. The key notes 'street car tracks not used,' alluding to the slow but inexorable shift in public transportation. The map includes two insets; the lower right shows a large scale view of the downtown area, with individual buildings labeled between Union Depot and the State Capitol. The second inset, lower left, shows the suburban municipality of Englewood immediately south of Denver. Published by the city's Chamber of Commerce, the map also encourages its audience to visit the surrounding area, through 'Denver the Gateway to 12 National Parks and 32 National Monuments." Sheet Width (in) 27.8 Sheet Height (in) 20.9 Condition Description Previously folded into 12 segments, with moderate wear and creasing along fold lines. Some areas also feature faint discoloration. There is blue crayon markings within the image, and the outer margins are worn and soiled, with several small tears repaired on verso. Remains in good, presentable condition overall.

    Condition: Very Good. "In 1923, the Clason Map Company produced its first road atlas of the United States. An advertisement appearing in the August 4, 1923 issue of the Chicago Daily Tribune (shown at right) shows a picture of Clason's "Best Roads of the United States" atlas and proclaims that it is "just off the press; nothing like it has ever been published before." There is some validity to this claim. Although the Cram Co. had produced a "Good Roads Atlas of the United States" and an "Auto Trails and Commercial Survey of the United States" a few years earlier, the road component of theses atlases was rudimentary at best, consisting of nothing more than a few "main roads" that had been crudely overprinted in red on some already existing state railroad maps. By contrast, Clason's road atlas contained fresh state maps that focused just on the road networks and that provided such details as the mileage between towns as well as the quality of the roads. Rand McNally followed this approach as well when it launched its first U.S. road atlas one year later. Clason continued to issue updated versions of their road atlases each year until 1931." [Liedholm & Greaves] This is a copy of the Clason Map Company's 'Touring Atlas' (as opposed to the 'Motor Atlas') issued for 1927. The decorative front cover features a distinctive image of a Native American waving to a Touring Car, while the verso presents an advertisement of Powerlube Motor Oil and Bearcat Motor Fuel. Additional text on the reverse of the cover provides helpful information on 'How to Solve Car Troubles on the Road', as well as license and motor laws of various states. Subsequent contents include a highway map of America, road maps of the 48 states (plus Ontario and Quebec), as well as a distance table, and logs of major U.S. Highways. Each map highlights these primary routes in red, with main paved roads, secondary or gravel roads, and 'other thoroughfares' noted in blue. Inset maps show major urban areas while comprehensive indices list smaller towns, their respective location and population. Published by the Clason Map Company of Denver & Chicago in 1927. Dated using text from the second page - "So called U.S. Highway systems shown on 1926 maps were misleading and bothersome to the motorist for two reasons. The final routing of the U.S. Highways was not settled or their proper numbers assigned until January 2, 1927, and they were not posted during the touring season of 1926. The complete and correct official system as shown here is radically different in routing and numbering from the preliminary outline of last year." Source: Dating Clason Road Maps." Sheet Width (in) 16 Sheet Height (in) 12 Condition Description 48 pp. complete color lithographed road atlas, folded once with stapled binding and original pictorial paper cover. Moderate wear throughout, including scattered spotting, toning, creased corners, edge tears, etc. Several of the sheets show light damp staining along the bottom, confined to the margins. Fair to good overall.

    Condition: Fine. While nowhere near the sprawl that can be seen today, this 1920's street map of Los Angeles certainly gives an impression of the urban expansion that has helped to define the largest city in California. A detailed street index is provided along the top and bottom of the sheet, while the locations of Lyons Fireproof Storage Company buildings are noted with an arrow and two stars. Further advertisements can be seen on the verso, in which are offered specialized features like piano rooms, moving services, and of course, fireproof construction. An automobile road map of southern California is also provided - despite its date of 1926, the accompanying legend still identifies 'wagon roads' alongside modern means of transportation. Sheet Width (in) 21.9 Sheet Height (in) 27.9 Condition Description A bit of creasing and faint wear along originally issued fold lines, and minor soiling around the outer edges. Very good, or better, overall.
