1975 CONOCO Gas Station Road Map ARIZONA Route 66 Phoenix Tucson Devil's Highway
Handsome fold-out Conoco scenic cover road map of Arizona, printed more than 40 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. I-40 is shown as under construction west of Seligman.
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.
On the reverse side there are inset plans of Phoenix, Tucson, and vicinity.
This map was distributed by the Continental Oil Company of Denver in 1975 and is dated in the legend. The code number in the lower margin is 6-WW. Little triangles on the map locate Conoco service stations on major highways in the state. There's a Conoco credit card ad on the back cover, copyrighted
