This large pictorial map was drawn by Frank Soltesz and published by the Humble Oil & Refining Company. Instead of focusing on physical and political geography, the map presents some of the major stories that defined the United States through detailed illustrations. A few of the 65 illustrations that caught this catalogers eye were Daniel Webster, Blackbeard, Paul Bunyan, Calamity Jane, and the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill. The verso contains related text and a map of the eastern United States with potential "Field Trips."
