Title: Automobile Club of Southern California strip map database
Post by: Parsa on March 10, 2010, 08:02:32 PM
I've posted a list of everything I can currently find on the ACSC strip maps. They are not just California. They are arranged by map file number.

Parsa,

That is some listing of ACSC strip maps!  I have a few hundred myself, and have tried over the years to identify the date by design or cartographer.  Many of course have the month and date on the back, or the copyright date on the front.  And you can sometimes date them by the auto club's address.  And I suppose I could do some dating by the symbols used, which changed in the early years.

Have you come up with other methods?

Incidentally, I have an interesting article from the 1920's in Touring Topics describing the methods used to make those maps.  Not a lot of surprises, but you have to respect the accuracy they achieved before there were aerial surveys and satellites!

Thanks for the list!

Good To Go!

I knew about the date codes, although they can be confusing. I do know the dates on a lot of these maps, especially the ones in booklets. However, the maps are often older than the date code. I also have particular maps with different date codes since they were used for several years.
I now know the name of one of the cartographers. He signed as both BROWN and E.J.B, and his name was Elmer J. Brown. He also designed the bell logo for the auto club.
I never thought of using the address, that's a good idea to correlate cards.
The maps from around 1915 use the funny symbols for lodging/food, gas/oil, and repair facilities. Many of those maps have a little date next to the cartographer's initials.
I got one big set that had no dates on any cards... the same cards that did have date codes in other sets. Perhaps the dates were added later as needed?

Does that Touring Topics mention the names of any of the cartographers? I did see some examples of the original maps on the walls of the ACSC archives. They drew them pretty big, like a small poster. Some of these maps are works of art, really beautiful.
Speaking as someone who has used ACSC maps to retrace transcontinental auto trails and US highways, I can say that they are often amazingly accurate. That's why I value them more than any other type of map (with the exception of topographic maps) for research.

I don't recall the Touring Topics story mentioning names, but I'll dig it out and reread it.  It has been some years.

The club certainly reissued a map over a several year period.  You also notice original copyright dates removed and a blank left in its spot.  And some of the Washington State strip maps carry dates like 1917-1919, which makes you wonder what they were saying.  Was the map published in 1917, and updated in 1919, or what? :)

Some folks, especially oil map collectors, tend to distain the strip maps, but like you say, other than topos, and perhaps old county atlases, they are the premo road maps of the period.  I have thought from time to time that I would produce a few turn by turn old road guides using Hobbs, Automobile Blue Books, old post cards, and ACSC strip maps, and I once did one as a test on the LA to San Diego route. I thought it looked pretty good, but I'm lazy so that was the end of it.

If someone got serious, they could easily produce a series of nice guides with minimal effort, assuming of course they had the materials.  :)

One of my early acquisitions, was the 1911 ACSC tour book, which has not only great maps, but nice written directions, missing of course in later strip maps.  And I picked up about ten years ago, a couple of Grays California road atlases, from 1906 and 1907.  I don't think I have seen any earlier automobile road atlases for California, but there may be a bicycle guide.  Have you spotted any?

I have a few relatively old strip maps for El Camino Real, but I've been looking for the maps used by the Federation of Women's Clubs to plan out the placement of El Camino Real bells. That started in about 1906. However, the decision to place a bell every mile on the route occurred in 1912-1913. I'd like to get a hold of copies of ECR maps from that 1906-1913 time period. I think a good guide to the ECR would be very helpful. A photographer friend and I did a road trip from Oceanside to downtown Los Angeles along the ECR route. It was fun trying to trace the route using my strip maps.

I'm actually planning to make some road guides and self publish them. I want to get a US 80 guide out, and then probably an El Camino Real guide. They will be similar to my California 80 strip maps on this site [example map image (http://www.americanroads.us/routemaps/Alpine-SD.png)]. I've already purchased a domain name: varnerguides.com

That is VERY NICE map work!  I have done a few far less ambitious projects and recognize the effort it takes to produce maps of that quality.  Nice work!

I'll take a look at the 1911 Tour Book.  It will certainly have El Camino Maps.  And I think I sold a set from about 1917 but kept digital copies.

I confess that none of the US numbered roads are of big interest to me, not to knock them.  My collection is heavily pre 1927, and I figure that by then most of the interesting roads had been identified.  Although I enjoy say Route 66, I consider it way over hyped, and prefer to explore its predecessors.

My interests are a mile wide and an inch deep.  Last Month I traveled part of the Dixie and the Old Spanish Trail; this spring I may do one of the northern transcontinental's, and probably something in the southwest.  I have hundreds, probably thousands of old guides, maps, ABB's, Hobbs, Mixers, Kings, TIB's and the like, so I never get bored.

It sounds like you are pretty well equipped, but no one has everything, so if I can help, just ask, and I'll follow up on the 1911 (or 1906) stuff shortly.

Good to Go!


Note:

I pulled out the 1911 ACSC Tour Book.  It gives me a little rush just to look through it. There are hundreds of exquisite strip maps and accompanying turn by turns.  Of course the El Camino Real is covered BUT it is not, so far as I note, identified as such.  Of course there are tons of hotel and auto ads, but the maps and turn by turns are certainly among the first done, at least in combination.  In fact, my earliest west coast turn by turns published elsewhere (ABB) are in the 1913 timeframe.

I don't feel comfortable scanning pages as I fear damaging the binding, but I could probably with my wife's help, photograph some pages that would be readable.  Is there a specific section that would be a good sample for your interests?

Note2

One final note.  The September 1924 issue of Touring Topics (the ACSC magazine)  described how the information to make the maps was collected (two men in a car with speedometer, altimeter, compass, and notebook).  One comment that proved interesting is that the first strip maps were prepared 13 years earlier, which may make the 1911 Tour Book the first example of their use by the ACSC.

I've updated the strip map database with a lot of new entries. Some are very early maps, and some relatively late ones.

Excellent database!

I have made some ACSC map research and found your collection fascinating! I have posted my ACSC map database on the RMCA webpage linking the strip map numbers with the map numbers. The old map number system helped me out in finding approximate dates that were almost impossible to determine otherwise. I do believe I have 2 ACSC lists posted. The first shows an incomplete list of the map number system while the second list shows the new catalog numbering system. This is certainly not complete since I still have ACSC maps that are not numbered or dated and would not fit into the system accurately.

The link to these lists are closed for members only. I do have the rough draft lists in notebook form. They are somewhat incomplete but probably the most complete outside the USC archives. I had sent Morgan Yates a copy hoping he could fill in the gaps for me but it was without any success. If you like, I can e-mail them over and see if you can add or modify them. I certainly would like to see a complete list someday so I could compare notes.

Steve, The volume of my attachments are too large for this website. I would like to share them but I will have to send through a different source. Please let me know if you wish to view them.

Whatever method works for you, I'd be happy and interested in viewing them.

Steve here is segment 3 of the ACSC map number list. Just to make things a more little bit understanding, the dates are the known period when they were issued. I am still a little bit confused on the card strip map numbers since they do not coincide with dates and they are randomly changing as the years progress. BTW: If you feel I am taking up too much space on your forum. please let me be advised. Thanks!
