Description
This somewhat spartan road map of the northeastern United States and southern Canada was copyrighted and published in 1922 by the Amsterdam Advertising Company of Amsterdam, New York. Two styles of lines, representing improved (paved) and secondary (mostly dirt) highways, offer a rudimentary overview of the network in the region best served by the publishers. Given the relatively small scale (1″ = ~25 miles), the piece was likely more of an attempt to capitalize on the increasing enthusiasm for motor tourism than an effort to offer a practical road guide from the East Coast to the Great Lakes.
