Road Map, "New England in Soconyland," 1929
01
Artifact Overview
After the federal government established a system of numbered and marked highways in 1926, road maps became more popular. As oil companies competed fiercely for motorists' business at roadside service stations, handing out free road maps became a way to ensure customer loyalty. This map was produced and distributed by the Standard Oil Company of New York.
