- A promotional map for the State of Indiana. Geographic information is limited to major cities and rivers, but the map is dense with other information. There are bold illustrations of events such as the Indianapolis 500 Automobile Race and invention of the Gatling Gun; the state seal, flag and flower; and portraits of William Henry Harrison, James Whitcomb Riley and other famous Hoosiers. Extensive text describes historical events and places of interest. For an early and detailed deconstruction of the messages in a North Carolina state highway map, see Wood 1992, ch. 5.
