This is an original and rare mid 1920s folding road map of the Coolidge, Twin Cities and Black Hills Route between Minneapolis and The Black Hills of South Dakota. This map is printed one side only and folds out to about 28.5" x 14". The cover panels indicate this map was published by the Coolidge, Twin Cities, Black Hills Association of Canby, Minnesota and read in part: Coolidge, Twin Cities and Black Hills Route - The Shortest Good Road To The Summer Capitol - Road Map - A Wonderful Summer Vacation - See the places you have read about, Deadwood Gulch, Spearfish Canyon, Hot Springs, Wind Cave, Harney Peak, The Needles, So. Dakota State Park, Sylvian Lake (the President's Summer Home), etc., over the best road through this country - For Information Address Coolidge, Twin Cities, Black Hills Ass'n, Canby, Minn. This map is not dated but was apparently published during the Coolidge Administration which would date it to the mid 1920s so call it circa 1925. The name Dow-Arneson Co. St. Paul is printed in the margin so evidently the map was produced by that company. The route shown was Highway 12 across Minnesota from Minneapolis to Granite Falls and then Route 18 through Canby to Clear Lake, South Dakota then State Route 15 South to US Route 14 west across South Dakota to US Route 16 into the Black Hills. The upper right hand corner of the map is printed with the signs for both State and National Highways and is titled Condition Map of Minnesota Trunk Highways - A 7,000 Mile Primary System Showing National And State Markings. This map is also printed with some information about the scenery and points of interest along the route. This map is 100% complete and fully intact. There is some wear on the fold lines and some dust staining and toning to the paper from age. There was a couple of inches of separation along the fold lines in two places which I repaired with two small pieces of acid free paper archival tape on the verso. This original and scarce road map from the mid 1920s is still in good shape overall. Email any questions. Thanks for looking. If you have questions about how to pay for this item please let me know.
