About This Item
Chicago: Rand McNally, 1923. 31 1/2 x 23 3/4 inches. Very good condition with a few repaired tears using archival mending tape. This is a superb example of McNally's Blazed Trails Program. An excellent article by Jim Akerman in 1996 explains the enterprise that used the maps to provide collateral materials especially for marking the trails. See JSTOR for the article. A synopsis Rand McNally hired an individual to run a mapping program that would allow people to use McNally's maps to get around the longer distance travels using marked trail. What is special about this map is the number of marked trails across the top in the banner. Iowa is centrally located giving way to the penetration of the state by a plethora of blazed trails.
