Description: This 1953 Mexico road map was issued by the Humble Oil & Refining Company. The date code on the map is “50-1-53N” and the front cover shows Colonial Taxco. The map was published by the General Drafting Map Company. This map is in excellent original condition as shown in the photo. This map came from the General Drafting Map Company archives and they stamped “Permanent File May 4 1953” on the front cover as seen. I bought part of this archival collection about 6 years ago and the rest of it recently. I first saw some listed on eBay and bought them. The seller then explained that she had a few more boxes of these from the General Drafting archives and I was able to buy the lot. Her husband and another guy were in charge of donating the maps to the Newberry Library when their company bought General Drafting. One pallet of maps would not fit into the two semi-trucks filled with the maps. They made several attempts to contact the library to make alternative arrangement for shipping the maps but got no response. So they split them up and took them home. She told the other guy of my interest in these maps and he recently contacted me and I was able to buy them also. There is a variety of maps and all are stored in dated envelopes with 1 or 2 maps in each. Most are stamped and/or dated on the cover, but a few are not. Over the next few years, I will be offering many of these here on eBay.Shipping within the United States will be by First Class Postage. If you purchase multiple fixed price items from my store, I will send a refund through eBay for all excess postage paid when I ship the items.
