Description
Designed to fit snugly in an automobile’s glove compartment, this ‘motorbook’ provides everything an intrepid motorist needs for navigating the rudimentary road systems across the upper Midwest. Pole markers identifying routes that pre-date the numbered highway system are illustrated on the front cover, with a legend immediately following.
The key outlines the symbols used in the following 34 double-page maps, which show route terminals, distances between points, road numbers, and secondary transportation routes. Supplemental pages include city plans for dozens of the largest urban centers across the area, including Chicago, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Madison, Davenport, Grand Rapids, and Springfield.
Published in Cincinnati by the A.C. Wagner Company in 1923.
