The Kansas Official Centennial Map of 1961.

Take a trip across the 100-year history of “Midway USA” with this double-sided state map of Kansas, published for the state’s centennial in 1961. One side shows a charming pictorial map celebrating the history, industry, and natural beauty of Kansas. Color photographs surround the image and provide further proof of the diverse attractions and welcoming spirit. The verso of the sheet presents a detailed road map of the state, with several inset maps showing details on the major urban centers.

A message from governor John Anderson reminds the audience; “This is a great year in Kansas history, and we invite you to join us as we recall the deeds of our forefathers and celebrate 100 years of progress. We hope you will join us, too, as we look to a bright future and even greater achievement and leadership.”
