Out of all the maps I bought recently, this one seems the most fragile, so I haven't looked at it as much. It does have Texaco locations posted on the map, but it lists only locations within 1/4 mile of a major non-toll highway, so I wonder if there were any more in the state. This one also shows a much more detailed map of the World's Fair than the Sunoco map and includes illustrations of "the world's largest road map" exhibit at the 1964 World's Fair.
Here are some more maps and map images that I figured I would share to go along with the ones I posted before. I figured I would do these as a mass upload then go back to the more typical retail pictures I post.
The full road maps were way too large to fit into the scanner and I didn't want to risk damaging the maps so I mostly copied covers, advertisements, and certain city maps. I do want to figure out a decent way to photograph the full maps without harming them. All of these ones are larger than the Ohio Turnpike Map I posted before.

Schmirntal day walk - 13km with 300m ascent, 500m descent, 1650m max altitude
9.15am private minibus up the Wipptal following the line of the Brenner Railway to the Schmirntal, on the opposite side of the main valley from yesterday’s location, the Obernbergtal.
An easy walk along forest tracks with glimpses out to the mountains and avalanche protection fences above the village of Schmirn, and on through the forest to Toldern via another chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
In Toldern we visited a tiny farm, buying cheese, sausage and elderberry liqueur and seeing the six Tyrolean Grey cows snug in their winter stalls before heading to Gasthof Olpererblick for an early lunch. My choice of apricot cake proved a good one.
A short hop on the bus took us up to the hamlet of Madern for a stroll up towards Kasern before returning along the road and through the avalanche protection tunnel to Toldern where we took the minibus back to Trins for tea, cake and dinner - and planning for tomorrow’s free day.

A map showing the routes around the area in the last days of the LT Country Area, and still generally applicable at the time of this set, taken from ""The Country Bus Routes of London Transport" by Barry Kosky, published by the Omnibus Society in 1968.

A map of London and environs, dated 1852. This area is now part of Greater London. At the time, it comprised the City of London, City of Westminster, and parts of the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, and Kent.
The built-up area in 1852 was not much greater than what is now called Central London, with part of the East End. There was not much development west of Mayfair, which had many of the aristocratic mansions.
One feature of the map is the railroad lines entering London. Four of the main stations had already been built. One feature of the map is the railroad lines entering London. Four of the main stations had already been built. Euston was first built in 1837, and rebuilt in something like its present form in 1849. Paddington was opened in 1838, and was rebuilt in 1854. Waterloo was opened in 1848, and took its present form in 1922. Kings Cross was opened in 1852.
Other important stations which had not yet been built were Victoria (1860), Charing Cross (1864), St. Pancras (1868), and Liverpool Street (1874). Other stations are on the map, but I presume that they have since disappeared.
The map was made by George Cox, and published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. It seems appropriate to geotag it with St. Paul's Cathedral.

"The Capital Crescent Trail (CCT) is a rail trail project running though the Northwest D.C. Area. On weekends, it is a VERY popular spot for local cyclists and rollerbladers. During weekdays, bike commuters use the CCT to travel between Downtown DC and the Northwest Suburbs.
The southern 7 miles between Georgetown and Bethesda has a 9-foot wide asphalt surface and is in excellent condition. The northern Georgetown Branch extension provides a crushed gravel surface for the final 4 miles between Bethesda and Silver Spring. The two trails are connected by a brand new tunnel located under downtown Bethesda."
