Reason
Kind of an unusual image, this is a large and high-quality scan of a highway planning map. Usually, these things are drawn up by state highway departments, who rarely release them and when they do, it's under a strict copyright. This one is made by the Civilian Conservation Corps, so its PD, and it provides a great glimpse into road planning. It shows the right-of-way, distances, and all sorts of measurements that I have no clue what they represent, among other things.
