Featured in this lot is a 1937 pictorial map of Montana titled, "Montana; A One Page History Dedicated To The Old Timers" by Bob Fletcher and Irvin Shope, published by the Montana State Highway Department. The map focuses on the Montana frontier history during the Westward Expansion of the United States. Numerous detailed line drawings portray pioneers and Native Americans. Regarding the large illustrations surrounding the map, the legend in the lower margin states, "Border illustrations represent the major frontier industries: Trapping, Mining, Cattle and Sheep Raising, and Lumbering," and identifies symbols for fur posts, military forts, fights and battles, cities and towns, missions, historic markers and abandoned frontier towns. The map also indicates 11 historic trails from Lewis and Clark's route west in 1805, to the retreat of Chief Joseph's Nez Perces in 1877. In addition to the map, the back features a tabloid history of Montana by Bob Fletcher. Overall the map shows good condition with slight wear consistent with its age. The map measures 15 3/4" L x 21 1/4" W, while the whole page measures 17" L x 22" W. When folded it measures 8 1/2" L x 11" W.
