Note:
The map is from the New Commercial Atlas of the U.S. On the verso of the main map is "Rand McNally Main Highway Map of New York" with Auto Roads shown in green on a base map that is the same as the main map. A note says "For complete auto road information, purchase Rand McNally Official Auto Trails Maps." This notice does not appear on the 1920 New Mexico map, so we assume 1921 was the first year of issue for the auto trails maps. Printed in full color, folded into tan card board covers 17x10.5 printed with "New York. Rand McNally Indexed Pocket Map Tourists' And Shippers' Guide ... Price 35 Cents. Rand McNally & Company, Chicago 536 South Clark St., New York 42 E. Twenty second St." Includes index to New York Principal Cities and the list of New York Railroads. The numbers in the list correspond to the numbers on the map. Prime meridian is Greenwich. Relief shown by hachures.
