Oooh! I have that one, too. Shell apparently kept going with the customized cover art a bit longer than Chevron. All the ones I have after '65 are generic.

Well, the attachment was listed when I submitted the last post, but didn't show up. If it's not here on this one, HELP!

Here's a 1967 Marin Map with Muir Woods. It used to look better, too!



By the way, I have literally boxes of older AAA maps, 1970s-80s mostly, and I want to get rid of them and not throw them away. Anybody collect them, want them? (Mostly Bay Area, I'll keep the Marin ones, though).

That's what I always thought, too. Had a more human scale to it. Well, in a 1950s-sci-fi-movie-vision-of-the-future kind of way, anyhow.

Remember when gas stations gave away free road maps? Most oil companies used generic graphics on the covers of theirs, but Standard featured custom paintings for each locale, and when they finally issued a Marin County map in the 60s, here's what they used.

Yes, I also collected road maps, and still have all of them.
