This road map centers on the Four Corners region, extending out to include Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix and Albuquerque. A key at top identifies main highways, “other motor routes,” and Goodrich service branches. The road network is quite limited at this point in time, particularly in Arizona and southern Utah, where huge stretches are inaccessible by vehicle. The extensive “Take With You” list of 12 items at bottom also underscore that road travel was not a casual undertaking! The verso features a number of Goodyear advertisements and a list of service branches. There is no catalog entry for this map on OCLC.
