WELCOME 1960's Pennsylvania State Road Maps BOTTOM

The state began using photos in cover designs, few of which were attractive. The subject of almost all of them was "concrete!"


1960
1961 Look at this cover. Why would it make anyone, besides a civil engineer, want to visit Pennsylvania?
1962
1963 William Scranton came from the family line for which the town of Scranton is named. He is most famous for trying to stop Barry Goldwater from getting the Republican presidential nomination of 1964. This is the last map to prominantly feature the name of the governor on the cover. Advertising had moved elsewhere, mostly to television.
1964
1965
1966 This is the first decent cover design in 10 years, but the improvement didn't last long. Not coincidently, it isn't a photo.
1967
1968
1969 This cover tried, but failed, to break away from the concrete road mentality. Look at the small photo on the left.
