“KEEP NEVADA CLEAN | Don’t be a litterbug”

Nevada State Map, 1959

this gorgeous lady is too big for my scanner, hence the quality. closeups are of a few of my favorite details that made me miss my home state the most.

home means nevada forever :’)

#one thing about me is i may not live there anymore but I LOVE NEVADA #i like all the danger areas bombing sites and gun ranges + seeing how many places didn’t exist yet!#for example primm isn’t even marked on there as stateline maybe bc it’s unincorporated??#and laughlin isn’t on there because it didn’t even exist yet!! which is crazy it was established less than 10 years later #i’m obsessed w this map seriously like nevada ephemera my most beloved….#the las vegas fun fact that’s like. mormon fort and heldorado days. yeah that’s all ya got in 1959 you still have corpses in the parade!!#why the hell am i not a nv historían i love this state sm…..#there was no posted speed limit back then!!! u just had to trust ur own judgment and go w god!!!#nevada #las vegas #reno nevada #geography #posts
