WELCOME 1990's Pennsylvania State Road Maps WELCOME

Issuing official road maps every year became a thing of the past.


1990 Pennsylvania Turnpike Souvenir Map and Guide.There was no official map issued in 1990. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission issued this full size state map 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.
1991 1991 Pennsylvania Turnpike. This is a full size (23 x 37 inch) map based on the official highway department map.
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.
1993 Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission Official Transportation Map. This is a full size (23 x 37 inch) map based on the official highway department map.
1994 No official map issued. This Pennsylvania Turnpike map must be looked at sideways to see the picture.
1995 A recent news article said Pennsylvania ranked first in the nation in covered bridges, with 221 of them.
1995 This map is also dated 1995 and differs from the above in the cover color and in changing Route 220 in the center of the state to I-99. This designation is notorious for violating the interstate numbering system because its number was written into the 1995 federal highway bill by a self-important local congressman, who also likely pressured the state to issue this updated roadmap. To add insult to injury, the state named the highway after him. To put another layer on, his son inherited his congressional seat. This version was issued in fewer numbers than the one above.
1995 Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission Official Transportation Map. This map has the same cover as the 1994 map, but uses the 1995 highway department map.
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'.
1997 Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission Official Transportation Map. You can never go wrong using a baby picture.
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.
