Description
Perhaps one of the most famous numbered highways in all of America, Route 66 runs from the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago, Illinois to the Santa Monica Pier in California. The approximately 2,200 mile route can be seen in full in this brochure, issued in the late 1940’s by the U.S. 66 Highway Association.
Each double page presents a simple strip map of the highway through the respective states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. Distances are noted between points along the route, while the upper and lower portions of the pages contain photographs of local attractions and locations of interest.
The last page includes a transcontinental mileage chart and a quick overview of the benefits of taking Route 66 vs. other highways. “It brings the traveler within easy access of world-famous scenery, National Parks, and National Monuments that attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. For the best trip across the West drive U.S. 66 ALL THE WAY.”
