1949 SHELL OIL CO Road Map MINNESOTA Minneapolis St. Paul Indian Reservations

Handsome Shell Oil Company fold-out road map of Minnesota, printed more than 65 years ago.

The map opens to 27" x 18" and has great detail on old highway alignments, with cartography by H.M. Gousha. The southern half of the state is on one side, the northern half on the other. There is an inset plan of the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

The map locates many other cities and towns, and it shows Indian reservations — including the Leech Lake, White Earth, Nett Lake, and Red Lake.

This map was distributed by Shell in 1949 and is dated by the code in the lower margin: 9-W 1949-1. Population data is from the 1940 census.

Condition:  This map is in very good, lightly used condition, with a tiny spot on the cover and no rips, tears, or writing.
