Pennsylvania Indemnity Exchange Junior Auto Trails Atlas of the Eastern United States

“A Much Improved Volume of Recently Drawn Road Maps.” – pg. 1

This handy little road atlas from the mid-1920s was issued compliments of the Pennsylvania Indemnity Exchange, a major regional provider of automobile insurance with assets of over 1.4 million dollars (according to the promotional text). A series of maps by the Rand McNally Company outlines the primary roads across the northeastern United States.

The first few pages are filled with inset plans of major urban areas that contain branch offices of the aforementioned sponsor – Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C., Baltimore, and several others. This is followed by a general Auto Trails Map of the United States and state maps showing Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts/Connecticut/Rhode Island, New Hampshire/Vermont, Maine, and Delaware/Maryland/Virginia/West Virginia. Each double-page road guide notes distances between points, important markers (highways and auto trails), and local geographic features.
