1964 STANDARD OIL CO Road Map WESTERN UNITED STATES Route 66 California Oklahoma

Description: Handsome large-format fold-out 1964 Standard Oil road map of the western United States, printed more than 56 years ago. This map opens to 36" x 25½" and has great detail on old highway alignments, with cartography by Rand McNally. The coverage area includes Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, New Mexico, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas. Among the named places and features is the intersection of U.S. Routes 66 and 666 at Gallup, New Mexico. Route 666 was also known by its nickname — the "Devil's Highway," because of the reference in the Bible (Revelation 13:18): Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. Although this road's designation was simply the result of its being the sixth branch of U.S. 66, it generated sufficient controversy that a few years ago the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials gave it a new number: U.S. 491. Consequently, U.S. 666 no longer appears on today's maps. The map was published by the Standard Oil Division of the American Oil Company in 1964 and is dated in the legend. The code numbers in the lower margin are 646217-2 and 646218-2. Condition: It is in excellent condition, bright and clean, with no rips or tears. A previous owner has written the date on the back cover; there are no other marks or writing on the map. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions. Buy with confidence!
