Map
This colored road map shows automobile roads in Wisconsin as well as portions of nearby states. Information on the quality and type of any road shown (U.S. Highway, County Trunk Highway, dirt, paved, etc.) can be found in the legend in the bottom left corner. The boundary between the Central and Eastern Time Zones is shown, as are ferry lanes through Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Along the top edge of the front side, an index of Wisconsin cities and towns is available with population information. On the back side of the map, small road maps for Duluth-Superior, Green Bay, La Crosse, Kenosha, Racine, Madison, Eau Claire, and Milwaukee are featured, as is a highway map of the Continental U.S. and a mileage chart showing the distance between major cities in the U.S. Along the left edge, an advertisement for Sinclair Gasoline's gas stations is shown.
