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 cataloger's eye were Daniel Webster, Blackbeard, Paul Bunyan, Calamity Jane, and the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill. Luckily, the map has a key on verso for the more obscure references. Also on verso is a "Road Map of the United States" and a listing of tourist attractions by state entitled "Treasuries of Americana." The folklore map is dated 1960 and the road map on verso is dated 1962.
