That old map is a very good find and it is a good piece of history there! It would of been good to see an old timetable for those routes back in 1934. :D

A great find! It is interesting seeing how little was formed back then, by the looks of state circle, it wasn't really a circle then. How some of the Avenues that form a major part of the roads system just stop. That there is a river, instead of a large lake. Thanks for sharing, very interesting!
