Notes:

Separate lists have been created for Dept. of Highways/Transportation and State Publicity Comm./Dept. of Commerce issued maps. State Park Recreational Guide maps were also issued by the Bureau of State Parks, using the same base map as the DOT. These are not listed here.

 

The map listed below as [1957] is the same as the 1956 issue, with a different cover. It is not known for sure if this map was issued for the year 1957, but it seems likely as no other 1957 issue has been discovered. Since Ben Franklin was born in 1706, the map with the "250th Anniversary" logo seems likely to be the "true" 1956 issue, while the other 1957, even though it is still copyrighted 1956. Its also possible that there were two issues in 1956, and none in 1957.

 

In addition to the difference noted below for 1984, 1986 and 1987 maps, the "Transportation" maps contain a mileage chart and numerous city insets on the reverse side of the map, whereas the "Tourist" maps contain city insets only for Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, with the rest of the space devoted to listings of tourist attractions. The 1997-98 map is called the "Official Transportation and Tourism Map."

 

Variations of the Department of Transporation map from the 1980s also exist in the form of a Truckers Guide and a Bicycling Guide, which are not listed here.
