Double-sided foldout road map of Mississippi. Ex-library copy per presence of two unobtrusive library stamps on text side. Total of 16 panels per side.

Full-length color state map on verso showing paved and unpaved state highways (in the FAP - Federal-aid primary highway system and FAS - Federal-aid secondary highway system), county borders, cities and towns, etc. Legend key includes a symbol for federal interstate routes but none are demarcated. Legend does include a list of state parks including a "Negro only" park near Grenada. Map title provides date of January 1, 1958 so presumably published within the same year.

Full-length color state map on verso showing counties, cities, towns, U.S. Routes, state routes, and interstates with color-coded paved and unpaved primary roads, secondary roads, county roads, etc. "Paul McSwain" credited at map's bottom left corner so presumably he served as the map's cartographer/illustrator. Reverse side features color photographs of state landmarks/tourist attractions with some text regarding travel info, fishing lakes, dates in history, etc. Map remains bright and clean as issued and is still laid-in its original white postally unused mailing envelope (which does have some toning/foxing) with address side having top left corner printed notation "'64" over notation "Your Official | 1963 Mississippi State | Highway Map | Compliments | State Highway Commission | Jackson, Mississippi." Thus presumably the map is a 1964 edition.
