[PW] Historical road atlas

[jschmitz at qis.net]

Quoting Douglas Anderson <doug.anderson at cacl.info>:

> We have a patron who's looking for a United States road atlas from the
> 1960's.  He wants to reconstruct a trip across the country that he took back
> then.
> 
> So far, I'm striking out in WorldCat, our statewide ILL system, loc.gov,
> roadmaps.org, Google, browsing of various historical map collections, eBay,
> and our local used book stores.  I've come across a few scattered maps of
> various cities that are viewable online, but the patron needs something that
> covers the U.S. coast to coast.
> 
> Any suggestions?
