Visit every place on this vintage US map for the most epic road trip ever by Phil Edwards.
Part of the joy of this map comes from being old enough to remember maps similar to this one.
Critics can scan the map for what isn’t represented as tourist draws.
Consider it to be a snapshot of the styles and interests.
Most notable absence? Cape Canaveral.
I suspect its absence reflects the lead time involved in the drafting and publishing of a map at the time.
Explorer 1 (1958) and the first American in space, Alan Shepard (1961), both preceded this map.
Enjoy!
