Description
When compared to the West, the Eastern United States has an embarrassing dearth of dedicated National Park land. Small pockets of highlighted areas are scattered across a handful of states east of the Mississippi, though the ongoing construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Natchez Parkway Trace will contribute significantly to the scope.
Other transportation routes – road, airports, ports, and train stations – are noted and highlight accessibility to locations throughout the image. An inset map of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands is provided in the lower right.
The verso of the ‘invitation’ (as the map is called on the cover) includes a short summary, hours, amenities, and brief directions to each of the parks shown within the image. Published in 1960 by the Government Printing Office on behalf of the National Park Service.
