Vintage 1937 PURE OIL PATHFINDER Road Map NORTH + SOUTH DAKOTA Black Hills Fargo

Description

Vintage fold-out 1937 Pure Oil Pathfinder road map of North and South Dakota, printed more than 83 years ago.
The map opens to 27" x 20" and has great detail on old highway alignments, including route numbers and road surfaces, with cartography by Rand McNally.
On the reverse side there is a map of the transcontinental United States, a mileage chart, and a list of radio station in North and South Dakota.
The map was distributed by the Pure Oil Company in 1937 and is dated by the code number in the lower margin: S.3502. Population data is from the 1930 census.
Condition:
This map is in very good condition, bright and clean, with
no
marks, rips, or tears. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.
There's an illustration of a Pure service station, with the company's traditional blue and white logo, on the front cover.
When this map was printed, Pure Oil was a thriving company, with 5,000 producing wells, seven modern refineries, and more than 16,000 service stations and garages. But today, the brand cannot even be found along the roadways in America — the Pure Oil Company was acquired by Union Oil of California in 1965 and its stations were rebranded.
This is an
original
, authentic 1937 gas station map,
not
a reproduction or modern reprint, and it is fully guaranteed to be genuine.
