Old Highway Maps

[WillWeaverRVA]

I've been trying to track down old Virginia county maps from between the 1930s and now, particularly ones of Henrico County that show the SR numbers (Henrico County maintains its own roads, and doesn't number its SR's; only interstates, primary routes, and US highways get numbered). I've seen a couple of maps on Scott Kozel's website that have SR numbers on them. No luck so far, though...I might have to contact the county.

I also have a bunch of old Oklahoma maps on CD. 

Of course you do, David. 

I have five or six old oil company maps from the 50s and 60s. Mostly OK, though I do have a couple KS.

I have a 1977 official MO map!

speaking of old highways maps I wondered if the US-82 freeway gap in Columbus, MS was once originally planned to be part of I-20 but I-20 was rerouted later in a more southernly corridor

I used to have a huge map collection but sold it off a few years ago.

I still have every Rand McNally large Atlas from 1956 to 2009 though.

I was wondering about US 123 between Clemson and Easley, SC. Could this have been an original routing of I-85? Coming from Clemson, I've always thought this freeway ends abruptly and should have logically continued to downtown Greenville.

The oldest I have is a circa 1888 map of Wabash County, IL (where I live).  However the most fascinating I have is a 1950 map of Washington, D.C.  I also have a c. 1960 Chicago map (Dan Ryan is not on the map, guessing date, no visible copyright), in addition to quite a few 1970s state/regional maps.  I received them all for Christmas a few years ago.

I had a bunch of road maps from 1920's-1950's, mostly, but my mother got rid of them sometime after I moved out.  I pray they're in someone's possession and not a landfill.  In trying to recuperate some of the collection, I'm currently looking 4 the following:

1. 1967 Rand McNally Road Atlas & Travel Guide (11"x14").
3. 1969 Rand McNally Pocket Road Atlas (4"x7.5").
4. 1983 Rand McNally Interstate Road Atlas.

Thank you.

If anyone is interested, I have access to scanned PDFs of many of the official Georgia state highway maps.  I think the oldest one is 1938, and there are some gaps in the years (especially the earlier ones).

I've found used book fairs a good place to look for old maps and atlases.  A couple years ago I acquired a 1971 map of Illinois at one, and more recently found a 1973 Rand Mac.  Though I'm wondering if some old routes/proposed alignments are misprints - I can't seem to confirm that Rte F in Franklin and Jefferson Counties of Missouri made it down to MO 30 via the old maps MoDOT has online.

I have an old 1940's era Conoco road map of California, and somewhere in my bottom drawer, there's also a 1942 street map of Los Angeles.
