Description
This double-sided pocket map was published in Chicago in 1924 by Rand McNally and distributed by the Haskell Implement and Seed Company of Lewiston, Maine.
One side presents the automobile trail markings, numbered state highways across the states of New Hampshire and Vermont, while the verso depicts the same for Maine. Ferry routes, distances between points, the location of tourist camps, and population statistics are also noted. An interesting and ephemeral map that highlights the transition from haphazard trail markings to more structured, numbered routes.
