Long before Interstate highways criss-crossed the US, the nation was threaded together by highways with names like Lakes-to-Gulf Highway and King of Trails. Spectacular detail and artistry come together in this map--the first US map published by National Geographic. This beautiful US map, published in 1923, is a cartographic time capsule, and a must-have for any map collector.
