A Map of Texas, U.S.A... Drawn from a Texan’s Viewpoint
Archive
"Map of Texas, U.S.A... Drawn from a Texan's Perspective," produced by the Texas Highway Department, presents a striking representation of North America in which Texas is significantly enlarged and occupies nearly half of the United States. This portrayal is reminiscent of the smaller-scale "Official Texas Brags Map" from 1948. The map features various illustrations depicting attractions within the state, such as the "world's largest jackrabbits," the "world's largest oil field," and "Big D - home to the world's most beautiful girls." Regions beyond Texas are labeled with phrases like "Storm Area," "Unexplored Territory," and "Yankeeland." On the reverse side of the brochure, there is a collection that categorizes Texas with descriptors such as Best, Biggest, Most, and Only. It also includes biographical information that adds context to the state.
