Vintage Ontario Road Maps & Travel Brochures – Lot of 8 – Official Road Maps 1971, 1972, 1982/83 & 1986/87 – AAA Toronto – Brampton City Plan – Temagami

Straight out of a glovebox from the golden age of the Ontario road trip — before GPS, when the passenger navigated and the map never quite folded back the same way. This lot of eight pieces centres on four official Ontario road maps spanning 1971 to 1986/87, the "Yours to Discover" years, plus an AAA Toronto city map, a MapArt Brampton city plan, and two Ontario tourism brochures. The 1972 map's illustrated cover, with its orange bush plane over a highway interchange, is worth framing on its own. Great lot for a map collector, a Canadiana display, or anyone who drove these highways when they were new.

Condition
Honest glovebox condition, sold as pictured. All eight pieces are complete and readable with their folds intact. Expect the usual for paper maps of this age: fold-line wear, light toning and edge darkening (most noticeable on the 1971 and 1972 covers), softened corners, and the previous owner's handwriting on the AAA Toronto cover noted above. No map is torn through or missing sections that we can see.
