Scenic and Historic Vermont

Uncommon pictorial view of the Green Mountain State.

Issued in 1964, this map is typical of other promotional pictorial cartographic material distributed in an effort to draw tourism and economic investment to the subject. Heavily reliant on primary colors, the image is an appealing mix of colored vignettes and detailed sketches. Decorative legends provide information and historical background on Vermont, while illustrated scenes in the negative space add further to the depth of information presented. Symbols for ski resorts, summer theaters, colleges and picturesque villages purport to offer something for everyone, year round. Only 3 copies are found in institutions in OCLC.
