Huebinger's Map and Guide for Panora Speedway (1912 Reprint)
The Huebinger series of automotive publications were popular a century
ago as adventurous motorists braved the primitive roads and uncertain
terrain of Iowa and beyond. Noted landmarks on these roadmaps include
schools, houses, churches, piles of stumps, unusual rocks, cemeteries,
and windmills. Today, these map collections are actually history books
showing how towns and cities have developed, roads have changed, and
some communities have disappeared. This booklet is an enlarged reprint
of the original Huebinger's Map and Guide for Panora Speedway published
by The Iowa Publishing Company, Des Moines, Iowa in 1912. Each page has
been enlarged and enhanced to correct faded type and pages that were
discolored with age. This Guide was scanned directly from the 1912
original, not from a later scanning. The Panora Speedway was an early
highway in Iowa from the Hyperion Club in Des Moines to Guthrie Center, a
distance of about 35 miles. The maps in this travel guide show towns
and streets as well as the landmarks that guided Iowa travelers in 1912:
