This is a 1946 Greyhound pictorial map of the United States. Pictorial vignettes highlight American culture, landscape, and history. National parks, including Yosemite, Yellowstone, Mesa Verde, and the Great Smoky Mountains, are among the illustrated sites. Historical landmarks include the Statue of Liberty, Independence Hall, and the site of man's first powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Cultural references include Paul Bunyan in Minnesota, Hollywood California, and Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Each vignette is numbered and corresponds with a short reference text situated either to the left side or below the map. An inset in the lower left details Greyhound's extensive nationwide bus network.Publication History and Census
