Anderson-Prichard Oil Company published many roadmaps during the life of the company. Roadmaps were a must-have in the days before the advent of Google Maps and GPS. Roadmaps were an easy up-sell in Anderson-Prichard gas stations, and some were used as promotional instruments for specific gas stations — maps sometimes had blank sections purposefully left on the covers where station owners could add their name and address.
