My dad recently ordered a "triptik" style road trip planner from the Allstate Motor Club. On the envelope that the maps were mailed in was a really fun USA map graphic that I wanted to share, but also learn more about.
I couldn't find it online anywhere, and I'm curious if anybody knows the origins of this art.
Thanks,
-Jesse

Was there a sing-a-long included with this map?

Which is something I might start providing for my clients, a little song on the back of the map.

That's a pretty cool map, if I was a kid I would want to follow the lines sort of like a maze. ;)

It looks circa 1970s... although I suppose it could be more modern and intentionally retro.
