Back during the Great Depression the government had to get everybody back to work, including writers. One project was the WPA Guides to America, which consisted of a travel guide for every state in the union. Above is a sample page listing Tucumcari, Endee, Bard, and a few other towns along Route 66. If you want to see more, you'll have to get your own copy. It's still in print and available at most good libraries & bookstores.
