The Huebinger series of automotive publications were popular a
century ago as adventurous motorists braved the primitive roads and
uncertain terrain of Iowa and beyond. Noted landmarks on these
roadmaps include schools, houses, churches, piles of stumps,
unusual rocks, cemeteries, and windmills. Today, these map
collections are actually history books showing how towns and cities
have developed, roads have changed, and some communities have
disappeared. Huebinger's Map and Guide For Des Moines, Ft. Dodge,
Spirit Lake, and Sioux Falls Highway: A Direct Road From Iowa's
Capital to Her Beautiful Lake Country was originally published by
The Iowa Publishing Company, Des Moines, Iowa, in 1912. The
original booklet was 5 inches by 8 inches. This 2012 reprint is a
scanned reproduction which has been enlarged to 8.5 inches by 11
inches. Each page has been individually resized at high resolution
and color-corrected to improve contrast and sharpen the images.
This Guide was scanned directly from the 1912 original, not from a
later scanning. In addition to maps of each mile of the Des Moines,
Ft. Dodge, Spirit Lake and Sioux Falls Highway, there are narrative
descriptions of the towns, vintage advertisements suitable for
framing, and the minutes of a meeting of the Des Moines, Ft. Dodge,
and Spirit Lake Highway Association held in Ft. Dodge, Iowa on May
24, 1911.
