This incredible, an incredibly long strip map - almost 16 feet in length - was published by the Aristocrat Inc. of Portland, Oregon, in 1931. Sold with an original price tag of 75 cents, the map offers a fun and colorful overview of the primary roads from Vancouver to Tijuana. Topography is illustrated pictorially, along with vignettes representing major locations of interest, notable geographic features, mileages, cities and towns, mountains, historical spots, hunting and fishing spots, hiking trails, resorts, hotels and garages. The verso is heavily illustrated with information on scenic attractions, garages and hotels along the highway routes
As per the text on the front cover, the map makes a splendid souvenir and when finished with it, one ought to “mail it to a friend or shut in.”
