This remarkable large map was drawn by Louis Fancher and published by The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, better known as A&P (grocery store chain). The map is absolutely filled with illustrations demonstrating each state's key agricultural products and accompanied by a table listing. Inset maps in the corners show grain, meat & fish, and poultry production in the country as well as a map showing the territory of the A&P stores. Text below the map touts the food supply in the U.S. where "we can reach out a hand and draw our daily food from the farthest corners of the land."

This 1932 edition was followed by a 1933 edition that was commissioned for the World's Fair where it was sold (see Rumsey reference).
