Description

1966 CONOCO Gas Station Locator Road Map ARIZONA Phoenix Lake Mead Route 666
Handsome fold-out Conoco road map of Arizona, printed more than 48 years ago.
The map opens to 18" x 27" and has great detail on old highway alignments, including U.S. Route 66, with cartography by H.M. Gousha. There are inset plans of Phoenix, Tucson, Lake Mead, the Grand Canyon, and Wupatiki, Sunset Crater, and Chiricahua National Monuments.
The map also shows U.S. Route 666, nicknamed the "Devil's Highway" because of the reference in the Bible (Revelation 13:18):
Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
Although the road's designation was simply the result of its being the sixth branch of U.S. 66, it generated sufficient controversy that a few years ago the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials gave it a new number: U.S. 491. Consequently, U.S. 666 no longer appears on today's maps.
This map was distributed by the Continental Oil Company of Denver in 1966 and is dated in the legend. The code number in the lower margin is 10-NN. Little triangles on the map locate Conoco service stations in the state. The scan below shows the back cover:
