Author: AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Title: Guide to Los Angeles Freeway System
Description: Los Angeles, CA: Automobile Club of Southern California, 1972. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Maps. This is a 1972 AAA map to the Los Angeles Freeway System. The map is in Very Good+ condition. The map is in mostly clean, bright condition. There are a couple of tiny edge nicks, and one small tear to the map edge, starting at one of the creases. "The Auto Club was an early advocate for the construction of the Ridge Route, the first highway through the Tehachapi Mountains and San Gabriel Mountains, which directly linked Los Angeles to Bakersfield and the Central Valley. The completion of the Ridge Route greatly facilitated automobile travel through this significant mountain barrier. Starting around 1910, the Auto Club sent teams of cartographers to survey the state's roads for the production of maps and to create a uniform signing system. The Auto Club posted thousands of porcelain-on-steel traffic signs throughout the state and continued to do so until the State of California took over the task in the mid-1950s. The signs were produced by a local company that manufactured porcelain-on-steel bathtubs. A few of these signs remain in service today, though they are extremely rare." (from Wikipedia). Very Good+ .
