This pocket guide features two large maps of the state on one sheet. The recto features a "standard" map presenting counties, county seats, electric lines and railroads. It includes three inset maps: Western Part of Texas; Dallas, Ft. Worth and Vicinity; and Houston, Galveston and Vicinity. A table of over 70 railroads is keyed to the map at bottom right. On verso is a slightly smaller map highlighting the extensive road network. Still bound into the 88-page tourist guide. Printed wrappers with 50 cent price – the equivalent of $12 today. A princely sum at the beginning of the Depression!
