Huebinger's Map and Guide for Panora Speedway (Paperback)

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. This booklet is an enlarged reprint of the original Huebinger's Map and Guide for Panora Speedway published by The Iowa Publishing Company, Des Moines, Iowa in 1912. Each page has been enlarged and enhanced to correct faded type and pages that were discolored with age. This Guide was scanned directly from the 1912 original, not from a later scanning. The Panora Speedway was an early highway in Iowa from the Hyperion Club in Des Moines to Guthrie Center, a distance of about 35 miles. The maps in this travel guide show towns and streets as well as the landmarks that guided Iowa travelers in 1912: country schools, cemeteries, piles of boulders, flowing wells, and other quaint and charming guideposts. There are pages of automtove and travel advertisements and descriptions of each town on the Speedway.
