MAPS, "BEST ROADS," published by Richfield Oil Company, 1929. There are several panels with large-scale maps of California, Oregon, and Washington and smaller detailed maps of Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Lake Tahoe, Portland, Seattle, and other cities in the three states. There is also text on Richfield gasoline and information about why the map was issued. There are many Art Deco-style drawings, as well. With tears on folds and at the edges, creases, and general wear, the overall condition is fair.
