#TOC-8 - 1935 Texaco Map of California & Nevada - 22” x 28” - $15.00 This map was published by Rand, McNally & Company, for the Texaco Oil Company. Printed in red, dark blue, green and yellow on pale yellow, it features a map of California and Nevada, with portions of Oregon, Idaho and Arizona. The opposite side features a 14” x 20” map of the U.S., plus smaller local maps of the City of San Francisco, Los Angeles and vicinity, Oakland and San Diego. It may come as a surprise that at this time, in the wealthiest state west of the Rockies, there are still portions of major highways which remain unpaved. Examples are portions of the roads between Weaverville and Eureka in Northern California, and Ojai and Maricopa in the south. Three sections of US Hwy. 395 also remained unpaved at this time... not to mention countless lesser roads! Measuring approx. 22” x 28”, the folded size is approx. 3.5” x 7.25”. The condition is NearFine, with nothing more than some light handling soil on the two exposed panels and edges... as seen when the map is in its folded state (see our scan). Otherwise this map is crisp, clean, tight, bright and complete... one you’d be proud to display!
