I'm pretty sure I bought this 1952 road atlas at Johnson's Secondhand Book Store in Springfield Mass.


I used to collect free gas station maps when I was a kid, riding my bike around town and boldly helping myself to a few at a time.

This purchase would have been made in the mid-1970s.



An 'aerial' view of Wisconsin.



A close-up view of the Madison-Milwaukee corridor in the pre-Interstate era.


My most frequent lunch hour destination while working at the G. & C. Merriam Company.
