This large pocket map was published during the time period that the National Highway System was being developed. It features a map of Florida on one side and a map of the Southeast on the other. Both show a surprisingly developed road network with a legend identifying paved roads, improved roads, dirt roads, "unimportant roads," state highways, national trails, and more. Below each legend is a listing of "Trail and Highway Markings" identifying the various highway systems shown on the map including the Jefferson Highway, Florida Short Route, Old Spanish Trail, the Atlantic Highway, and many more. Various points of interest including hotels, restaurants, and garages are located with red overprinting. Folds into pictorial wrappers with title "Motor Routes to Miami, Fla." with compliments of Bank of Bay Biscayne.
