- A promotional map issued by Humble Oil, showing images of hundreds of places to see and things to do: historic sites, natural wonders, business and recreational activities. See Phaidon 2015, 242. A legend at the bottom of the map provides detailed instructions for flattening and mounting the map as a "handsome wall decoration in den, study or recreation room." This map and others like it from General Drafting were also issued in foreign-language versions to promote the United States abroad (see, e.g., ID #1368 "Illustrierte Karte der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika").
