1990
PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE SOUVENIR MAP AND GUIDE. There was
no official map issued in 1990. The Pennsylvania Turnpike
Commission issued this map of the entire state, not just
the Turnpike, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the
'pike'. The Turnpike is a separate organization in the
state bureauocracy and not part of PENNDOT. It has its
own budget and is run by a board of commissioners who are
all ex-politicians in need of an income. |

1991
This cover is the same as the one for 1989, but the map
is updated. |
 |
1992
No official map issued. This is the 1992 Turnpike map
advertising the new feature of Emergency Call Boxes Every
Mile Along The Turnpike. |

1993
The top drawing is the Point State Park fountain in
Pittsburgh. The bottom could be any of a number of ski
areas. The largest ski area in the state is Seven Springs.

1995
An update of the '95 official map also was issued with
the same photo, but with blue trim and no date on the
cover. A recent news article said Pennsylvania ranked
first in the nation in covered bridges, with 221 of them.

1996
PENNSYLVANIA FISH & BOAT COMMISSION’S FISHING
AND BOATING MAP WITH OFFICIAL TRANSPORTATION MAP. There
was no official map issued in 1996, perhaps this map was
intended to stand in for one. This recreational map was
computer generated by Cartographic Information Division,
Bureau of Planning and Research, Department of
Transportation. Whew! |
 |
1997
The idea of putting sappy sayings on the road maps
started in the 80's with 'You've Got a Friend in
Pennsylvania'. Here is 'Memories Last a Lifetime'. Let's
hope not. The best saying is on the 1995 map above: 'For
Free Distribution Only'. |

1998
TRUCKERS GUIDE TO PENNSYLVANIA. There was no official map
issued in 1998. This map was issued by PENNDOT especially
for truckers. Routes are color coded to show the size and
weight limits allowed on each road, see the Map Image. This map shows the increasing
importance of the trucking industry and their influence
and impact on highways. For all intents and purposes,
highways are constructed today for trucks and civilian
use is an accepted nuisance. |

1999
PENNSYLVANIA FISH & BOAT COMMISSION’S FISHING
AND BOATING MAP WITH OFFICIAL TRANSPORTATION MAP. There
was no separate official map issued in 1999; this is a
later version of the 1996 recreational map above. |

Transportation: www.dot.state.pa.us. |
