Along with the technological innovations and displays of American natural resources the Centennial Exhibition is notable as the location where two works of the renowned sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi were on display- the right hand and torch of the Statue of Liberty and the Bartholdi Fountain. <br><br> <div class="indenttextblocksingle"> "In May of 1876, Bartholdi constructed the right arm bearing the torch, realizing it could stand alone if financing for the entire project failed. The torch’s display at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia from August to November 1876 was a definite highlight with the fair’s approximately ten million visitors. Many scaled the 42-foot tall display for a fee of 50 cents." </div><br>

Major firms including Intel, Motorola, Microchip, ON Semiconductor, Raytheon, and Intuit highlight the state’s strength in electronics, aerospace, software, and defense manufacturing. <br><br> Designed as both a promotional artifact and a functional 2001 calendar, the map was sponsored by ON Semiconductor, whose tagline—“Leaders in Broadband and Power Management Solutions”—appears below. The term “Silicon Desert,” echoing “Silicon Valley,” symbolized Arizona’s transition from a resource-based economy to one driven by innovation, research, and technology production.

Details	1944	Kroll-Map-Company	Evergreen-Playground-View-of-Pacific-Northwest-First-State	This pictorial map, titled The Evergreen Playground, (first state with the Tacoma Narrows Bridge lacking a deck) was published in 1944 by the Kroll Map Company of Seattle. It presents a detailed bird’s-eye view of western Washington, extending from Olympia and Tacoma northward through Seattle and Everett to Bellingham and Vancouver, B.C., and eastward to the Cascade Mountains. The map highlights major highways, railways, ferry routes, and points of interest, emphasizing the transportation network and recreational attractions of the Pacific Northwest at mid-century. Drawn by Ed Poland. <br><br> Insets along the borders depict regional scenery, industry, and Native American–inspired motifs. The lower right legend identifies the “Unequaled Transportation Facilities” that connect the area by train, highway, and ferry service. The title panel describes the region as unique in North America for combining sea, forest, and mountain environments within a compact area. Printed in full color with topographic shading and decorative borders, this map reflects the Kroll Company’s skill in cartographic illustration and mid-20th-century regional promotion. <br><br> Ed (Edwin) Poland was a long-time chief cartographer at the Seattle-based Kroll Map Company, active from at least the 1930s through the postwar era. Poland’s work for Kroll is characterized by dense place-name coverage, promotional vignettes, and clear drafting that made the firm’s Pacific Northwest maps popular for decades.

Details	1961	Howells--Rulon-S-	Map-of-The-Mormon-Exodus-to-the-Rocky-Mountains	Scarce mid-20th-century educational wall poster depicts the westward migration of the Mormon pioneers from the eastern United States to the Great Salt Lake Valley. The map traces multiple overland and sea routes—from early settlements in New York, Ohio, and Illinois across Iowa, Nebraska, and Wyoming to Utah—with fine line work and green-toned shading that visually emphasizes the journey’s progression. <br><br> Illustrations along the route show covered wagons, handcarts, and pioneer figures, while smaller vignettes depict scenes such as the Mormon Battalion’s march and seaborne emigrant routes from Europe. At lower left, a narrative block summarizes the migration’s history, noting Brigham Young’s leadership and the founding of the Great Salt Lake settlement in 1847. <br><br> Printed in green and black on white stock, the map carries the imprint: “A Teaching Aid – The Mormon Story – Teaching Aids, Inc., Highland Park, Illinois.” This poster was likely used in classrooms and religious education settings during the 1960s, part of a broader trend toward illustrated historical maps as visual teaching tools. An attractive and informative example of mid-century American educational cartography. <br><br> Published by Bookcraft, Inc, 1961.
