Notes:
A
separate list has been created for the State Publicity Comm./Dept.
of Commerce issued maps.
The
map listed below as [1957] is the same as the 1956 issue, with a different
cover. It is not known for sure if this map was issued for the year 1957, but
it seems likely as no other 1957 issue has been discovered. Since Ben Franklin
was born in 1706, the map with the "250th Anniversary" logo seems
likely to be the "true" 1956 issue, while the other 1957, even though
it is still copyrighted 1956. It’s also possible that there were two issues in
1956, and none in 1957.
In
addition to the difference noted below for 1984, 1986 and 1987 maps, the
"Transportation" maps contain a mileage chart and numerous city
insets on the reverse side of the map, whereas the "Tourist" maps
contain city insets only for Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, with the rest of the
space devoted to listings of tourist attractions. The 1997-98 map is called the "Official Transportation and Tourism
Map."
Variations
of the Department of Transportation map from the 1980s also exist in the form
of a Truckers Guide and a Bicycling Guide, which are not listed here.
