Touring map of the Custer Battlefield Hiway: the scenic route to the west, 1925. Creators: John C. Mulford, C. C. Faunce
Touring map of the Custer Battlefield Hiway: the scenic route to the west, 1925. The Custer Battlefield Highway was created in 1925 as a scenic route between Iowa and Montana. The National Highways Association printed this large colored wall map, the Touring Map of the Custer Battlefield Hiway: The Scenic Route to the West, " under a contract with the Custer Battlefield Highway Association. The association subsequently gave the map to its members. The highway began in Des Moines, Iowa, passed through Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana, and ended at the Canadian border in Glacier National Park. It was named in honor of George Armstrong Custer, the U.S. Army officer who was defeated and killed at the Battle of Little Bighorn by warriors of the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes. The map contains a topographic profile showing elevation changes along the route; a colored key highlighting national parks, national forests, and Indian reservations along the way; information about the route; and appeals for federal government support for building a national highway system. The scale in miles equates to 1:3, 125, 000."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage map, titled "Touring Map of the Custer Battlefield Hiway: The Scenic Route to the West," dates back to 1925. Created by John C. Mulford and C. C. Faunce under the auspices of the Custer Battlefield Highway Association, this large-format wall map was distributed to members of the association as a guide for traveling the scenic route between Des Moines, Iowa, and the Canadian border in Glacier National Park. The Custer Battlefield Highway was established in 1925, and this map was produced by the National Highways Association under contract with the association. The route passed through Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana, and was named in honor of George Armstrong Custer, the U.S. Army officer famously defeated and killed at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. The map showcases a topographic profile detailing elevation changes along the route, as well as a color-coded key highlighting various points of interest, including national parks, national forests, and Indian reservations. The map also includes valuable information about the route itself, as well as appeals for federal government support for the development of a national highway system. Measuring in at a scale of 1:3,125,000, this map offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of American road travel and the scenic beauty of the western United States during the early 20th century.
