"A Friendship Map",

This large, pictorial map of the United States was issued by Friendship Press, the publishing arm of the National Council of Churches. It is densely filled with illustrations showing natural resources, industries, and the various nationalities that settled in a given region. Four insets and numerous illustrations surround the main map including the "Makers of the U.S.A." A text border of notable citizens includes Thomas Jefferson, Henry Ford, Cyrus McCormick, and Samuel Morse to name a few. Friendship Press produced a number of maps of various parts of the world that were designed to promote peace and tolerance.
