MISSOURI OFFICIAL MAPS
Notes:
In addition to the maps listed below, “Weekly Detour Maps” issued by the Missouri State Highway Commission are known to exist. There are also issues from the Missouri Division of Resources and Development (1940s-50s), and the Missouri Conservation Commission/Game & Fish Department (1930s-2000s). These are not listed here.
The two versions of 1964 maps were likely done for regular distribution, and distribution at the New York World’s Fair. The version with the caption on the cover has a message from the governor inside addressed “to our visitors at the Missouri Pavilion” whereas the one without the caption is addressed “greetings to all who use our highways.”
