Description
This boldly colored road map was designed by cartographer A.R. Thompson and lithographed in Toronto by Rolph Clark Stone, Ltd. in 1931. It was prepared exclusively for Imperial Oil, established in 1880 and today Canada’s second-largest petroleum producer.
Primary highways are highlighted in red and numbered, where applicable. Distances between points are noted. Other traveled roads, steamship and ferry routes, and boundary lines are outlined according to the legend in the lower right. Immediately below, the various pole markers for each U.S. state and Canadian province are displayed.
Illustrated advertisements and Imperial Oil Products are featured throughout and the verso includes a variety of inset maps, city plans, and additional information for the automobile tourist.
