Background
- Scope and content:
Road maps have their own community of collectors and researchers, often focusing their collections by state or by oil company. Idenfitification of the age of road maps can be tricky, and there are online hobbyists and communities who can help identify the age of a particular map, even when a company was unwilling to print such information clearly on their maps.
