Take a journey back in time.
I have collected maps from when I was a boy. Most of my collection is gone now, but these are some that remain.
Since I was a boy I have enjoyed studying maps, and of course, with 40 years over the road, I have used maps many-many times.
With only a few exceptions, none of these maps are newer than the 1960s and I will include the exact date when possible. All are in readable condition, many are in excellent condition. Some have slight tears at the seams, but are still able to be opened and read. Some may have markings on them, but are still completely legible. Many were printed before the Interstate Highway System was built, which is especially important for the western maps as it lets you see the old highway system across the mountains. Back in the fifties and sixties it was definitely tough-going through the West.
