Fortunately, the second half of the USA arrived from the printer a few days after the eastern half, so much of what has been said above pertains to this map as well. The West Half of the USA is more arid and less populated than the East, and the mountain ranges are more dramatic, so the colour variation on this map is more significant. The West map is also double-sided, divided into two parts: the westernmost segment, the Pacific coastal States and their adjacent interior neighbouring States, are on one side, along with inset maps of the San Francisco Bay area and the Greater Los Angeles freeway system. With a small amount of overlapping, the other side covers the Rocky Mountain States and the Great Plains as far as Houston in the south and Fargo in the North. Insets of Denver and San Antonio are also provided. The place names index has been sorted by side, so everything related to Colorado, for instance is on the same side. Finally, some coverage of Mexico on the south and Canada on the north has been provided for cross-border travellers. This is an excellent long-distance travel map. It shows pertinent information for travellers much better than other maps. This is a first edition, and it is of a densely populated nation that lives in small towns, so there are a LOT of place names. We have done our best on both sheets to portray the USA comprehensively and accurately. Hopefully, we’ve created the perfect map, but if not, we ask our American friends to chide us in their own inimitable way and rake us over hot coals for our weaknesses. I should also add that we have left ten deliberate spelling errors on each map, and the first person to find all ten will win a prize. Also AVAILABLE IN DIGITAL FORMAT: $29.95 PER FILE. FLAT COPIES: $14.95 PER SIDE (no discounts). |

DID YOU KNOW?
The oldest city in the western U.S. is Santa Fe, founded in 1610, but the oldest urban non-indigenous area is Presidio, Texas, where the first Spanish military expedition crossed the Rio Grande in the late 1500s and established a small garrison to guard the ford. This is also the oldest continuously established townsite in the USA, pre-dating even the Florida Spanish settlements. Los Angeles is the birthplace of the Internet, Mickey Mouse, Barbie, the DC-3, the Mazda Miata, and the Space Shuttle.
