Early United States Trans-Continental Road Map

"Clason's Road Map of United States Showing Paved Roads, All Weather Roads and Other Thoroughfares [on verso] Clason's Guide Map of United States [with] Clason's United State Green Guide", Clason Map Company

This is the “New Census Edition” of Clason’s United States Green Guide. It features two large maps of the United States on a single sheet. The recto map shows the complete road network in the country with a legend identifying paved roads, all weather roads, and other thoroughfares. The verso shows states outlined in green with the dense railroad network delineated and individual railroads named. The map sheet is laid into the 32-page guidebook, which includes information on National Monuments, a table of distances, list of states and cities, and more. The pictorial covers feature an Indian maiden and priced at 35 cents (4.0 x 6.5”). This was the last year that the “green guide” was published as the Clason Company fell victim to the Great Depression in 1932.
