Handsome fold-out 1971 Texaco road map of Arizona, printed more than 46 years ago.

• The map opens to 26½" x 18" and has great detail on old highway alignments, including U.S. Route 66, with cartography by H.M. Gousha.



• The map also labels U.S. Route 666, nicknamed the "Devil's Highway" because of the reference in the Bible (Revelation 13:18):

Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

Although the road's designation was simply the result of its being the sixth branch of U.S. 66, it generated sufficient controversy that a few years ago the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials gave it a new number: U.S. 491. Consequently, U.S. 666 no longer appears on today's maps.


• There are inset plans of Grand Canyon National Park, Lake Mead, Phoenix, and Tucson.



• The map was distributed by Texaco in 1971 and is dated in the legend. The code number in the lower margin is 9-SS, and the code on the back cover is 711.



• Little "T" symbols on the map locate Texaco service stations on major highways.



• Condition:  This map is in very good, lightly used condition, bright and clean, with no rips, tears, or writing. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.
