Kansas City, Missouri lies at the literal ‘heart’ of the Mid-West between Denver and St. Louis on this road map of the region. A bewildering array of road types – 23 in total (including those under construction) – are outlined in the legend in the lower left. The verso shows a similar highway map (though limited to only 10 road types) of the entire United States, as well as a map of the roads around the Greater Kansas City area.
Created around 1930 in Kansas City by the Gallup Map & Supply Company. Issued by the Convention Bureau of the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, with assistance from the Automobile Club of Kansas City.
