Carrying the straightforward title 1937 Road Map of Washington, this handsome state portrait by the HM Gousha Company was prepared exclusively for the Standard Oil Company of Texas at the height of America’s interwar motoring boom. A traveler’s instrument first and an objet of design second, it arrays Washington’s circulation in saturated red highways and carefully tiered secondary roads, then layers in national and state parks, monuments, airports, and the subtle lacework of drainage that binds mountain to sound. A compact legend decodes the symbology while a meticulous index guides the eye swiftly from Seattle to Spokane and the smallest farm town between. The familiar RPM Motor Oil emblem anchors the composition, a quiet reminder of the service-station counter where such navigational companions once began their journeys.
HM Gousha stood at the vanguard of American road cartography, marrying clarity with allure. Founded by former Rand McNally cartographer Harry Mathias Gousha in 1926, the firm specialized in maps that motorists could read at a glance yet study with pleasure. Here, relief is rendered through fine hachures and punctuated spot heights, making the Cascades rise with tactile presence and letting the scabland benches east of the Columbia fall away in delicate shadow. Color judiciously separates forests, water, and settlement, while symbols for airports, monuments, and parks sit in poised balance along the routes. Spread across two facing panels, the composition breathes, giving mountain chains and river basins room to unfurl without sacrificing the economy of a glove-box guide—an exemplar of pre-Interstate design discipline.
Highways stride confidently across the state in 1937: US 99 threads the Puget Sound corridor from Olympia through Tacoma, Seattle, and Everett toward the Canadian line; US 10 cuts east from tidewater over Snoqualmie Pass to Ellensburg and Spokane; US 101 loops as a coastal necklace around the Olympic Peninsula; US 97 runs the dry-side spine through Yakima, Wenatchee, and north into Okanogan country; and US 195 drops south from Spokane toward the Palouse. Distances between key towns are thoughtfully marked, an aid to planning fuel and daylight. Hachured ridges betray the obstacles these routes overcame—Stevens and Snoqualmie Passes, the Yakima Canyon, the Columbia’s trench—while blue threads detail the Skagit, Snohomish, Yakima, Snake, and great Columbia, their confluences shaping settlement and road choice alike.
The map’s city portraiture is equally discerning. Seattle unfurls between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, its approaches converging at the great arterial spine; Tacoma stakes its claim to the south, with Olympia crowned as the state capital at the southern reach of the Sound. Northward, Everett and Bellingham register as industrious harbors, and Marysville rides the flats beyond. Bellevue sits like a quiet lakeside waypoint to the east; Renton and Auburn bracket the Green and White river valleys. Far across the mountains, Spokane anchors the Inland Empire on the Spokane River. The Yakima Valley appears as an irrigated ribbon, while the Tri-Cities—Kennewick, Pasco, and budding Richland—cluster at the Columbia–Snake meeting. Aviation icons punctuate the network: Boeing Field, Paine Field, Felts Field, and airstrips scattered through Yakima and Wenatchee country.
Parks and forests frame the itinerary with grandeur. Mount Rainier National Park dominates the central Cascades, its spot height proclaiming the 14,410-foot crown of the state; Olympic National Forest cloaks the peninsula; and Wenatchee, Mount Baker, and Colville national forests stair-step up the range. State parks—Deception Pass among them—promise campgrounds and overlooks at strategic bends in the road. In this synthesis of nature and network lies the map’s historical charge. Issued from the service counter under the RPM Motor Oil banner, it embodies the 1930s pact between industry and leisure, when branded cartography invited Americans to go farther, safely, with confidence. Today it reads as both itinerary and time capsule: a lucid, beautifully made witness to Washington on the cusp of modern highways and mass air travel.

Please double check the images to make sure that a specific town or place is shown on this map. You can also get in touch and ask us to check the map for you.
This map looks great at every size, but I always recommend going for a larger size if you have space. That way you can easily make out all of the details.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 100in (250cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
Please note: the labels on this map are hard to read if you order a map that is 16in (40cm) or smaller. The map is still very attractive, but if you would like to read the map easily, please buy a larger size.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40x50cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, check out my collection of the best old maps to see if something else catches your eye.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving, anniversary or housewarming gift for someone from the areas covered by this map.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.
Many of our maps and art prints are chosen as thoughtful gifts for homes, offices, studies and meaningful places.
Choose a framed option for the easiest ready-to-hang gift, or choose an unframed print if the recipient may prefer to select their own frame.
We make orders locally in 23 countries around the world, so gifts can often be produced close to the recipient. This helps them arrive faster, travel more safely, and avoid customs or import duty surprises.
- We can deliver directly to the recipient
- Framed pieces arrive ready to hang
- Unframed prints are carefully packed in a strong protective tube
- Almost every order is made locally, for faster, safer gifting
- 90-day returns give the recipient time to decide
If you are not sure what to choose, please contact us. We can help you pick the right map, size, finish or delivery option.

Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
Mira algunos ejemplos de mis mapas enmarcados y mapas en lienzo enmarcados.
Alternativamente, también puedo proporcionar mapas antiguos y obras de arte en lienzo, tablero de espuma, papel de algodón y otros materiales.
Si deseas enmarcar tu mapa o obra de arte tú mismo, por favor lee mi guía de tamaños primero.
Mis mapas son reproducciones de mapas originales de altísima calidad.
Obtengo mapas originales y raros de bibliotecas, casas de subastas y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, los restauro en mi taller de Londres y luego uso tintas e impresoras giclée especializadas para crear hermosos mapas que lucen incluso mejor que el original.
Mis mapas están impresos en papel de archivo mate (no brillante) sin ácido que se siente de muy alta calidad y casi como una tarjeta. En términos técnicos, el peso/grosor del papel es de 10 mil/200 g/m². Es perfecto para enmarcar.
Imprimo con tintas pigmentadas Epson ultrachrome giclée UV resistentes a la decoloración, algunas de las mejores tintas que puedes encontrar.
yo también puedo hacer mapas sobre lienzo, trapo de algodón y otros materiales exóticos.
