VDOT’s Public Affairs team, working closely with Jamestown 2007 representatives, developed the map’s special features and historic look.
A map of the state’s road network has been published since 1922, even before all the roads were numbered, but it was not until 1927 that a map like the present one was issued.
The new , map was extremely popular, and within a few months the first supply of 50,000 copies was gone.
By 1929 the demand had jumped to 150,000 annually.
That distribution was impressive then, but it seems small compared to the present figure - two million per year.
Two and three-quarter million maps have been printed for this year’s edition.
An updated reprint of at least another two million is planned for 2007.
