This unusual cloth map was published by the Auto Road Map Company in Portland, Oregon. It covers the region from Seattle and Portland east to Spokane and Walla Walla and depicts the major road network. Mileages are noted between towns, and several rudimentary insets of city maps are provided to aid in navigation. A table at lower left lists the distances between various cities. Folds into tan paper wrappers (5.0 x 9.4"). A scarce map with no examples located on OCLC or elsewhere.
