Vintage large-format fold-out 1940 official highway map of Missouri, printed more than 80 years ago.

• This map opens to a generous 20" x 28½" and was published by the Missouri State Highway Commission, Jefferson City, in 1940.



• There is good detail on old road alignments, including U.S. Route 66, plus inset plans of Kansas City and St. Louis.



• The map locates numerous landmarks and points of interest, including the Industrial Home for Negro Girls, the state's first lead mine, Mark Twain National Forest, birthplace of General Pershing, and the U.S. Hospital for Defective Delinquents.



• On the reverse side there are color photos of scenes around the state, including Elephant Rock, Ste. Genevieve, Bagnell Dam, a tobacco warehouse, and an overhanging rock formation along U.S. Route 71 in the Ozarks.



• Condition: This map is in very good, lightly used condition, with no marks or writing. It is printed on a heavily-inked semi-glossy paper that shows breaks on some of the folds, and there's some minor loss along the upper edge, outside of the image area. A couple of the weaker folds have been reinforced with archival tape. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.
