Einer meiner Favoriten. Habe es vor über 10 Jahren in einem Antiquitätengeschäft in Houston abgeholt. Mir ist heute gerade die „UdSSR“ aufgefallen … Irgendwelche anderen Informationen, die mir helfen würden, diese Karte altern zu lassen?

Dinner and a movie is a little old school, but tried and true. Just be yourself. You got this.

60s, 70s
Well it still says Gulf of Mexico….

In the bottom right you can see “Distributed by Replogle Globes.” Replogle was the dominant school map company in the US from the 1950s through the 1970s, but this specific design language is earlier Replogle, not their later 70s stuff.
Best guess early 60s.
Take it out to dinner.
In the future we’ll call it southern Canada.
Thunder Bay, Ontario was formed in 1970, so the best I can do is 1970-1991.
My thought is that national parks are probably going to offer a clue but I don’t know the timeline of when each park was created.
This map was made prior to 1978. Check out North Dakota with Theodore Roosevelt national memorial park. It was re-titled to a national park in 1978. There’s probably other national park type clues to follow on this as well… canyonlands and arches national parks in Utah are not on here. So it was probably made prior to 1964
1969. Only seeing 2 records for Nystrom relief maps in LoC, both from 1969. One is 40x65cm [https://lccn.loc.gov/gm70005189](https://lccn.loc.gov/gm70005189) and the other is 31x48cm [https://lccn.loc.gov/gm71000123](https://lccn.loc.gov/gm71000123)
There is probably copyright information somewhere on that map.
The legend carries Nystrom Chicago branding. Nystrom ceased doing business in 1966. So pre 1966.
Holocene, late
There’s nothing wrong with a good old picnic in the park
I’m guessing 1960 or 1961. Under Hawaii and Alaska it shows when they became a state in 1959
So far I see every national park listed before Haleakalā which became a national park in 1961
Not sure this is the best way to look at, but I am guessing based off of the interstates that have been added/not added yet. I am from Chicago, so I can immediately see there is no interstate 355/88/43 meaning that it has to be before 1980. I also do not see interstate 290 (90 at the time of completion in 1972 until 1978) and 72 (also completed in 1972) meaning I would guess it is before 1970. Overall, the interstate system also looks too developed to be before 1960. I believe Nystrom released maps around 1961, 1964, and 1967. My guess based on the road data at the time would be around 1961 based on other responses with national parks (not my expertise 😅). Super interesting though! Let me know if you find anything out!
When was the last time Alaska shared a border with Mexico?
1965.
I-74 between Indianapolis and Cincinnati was completed in 1964, so this is after that.
Try buying it dinner and a couple of drinks.
Just be yourself
Ask it what its favorite band is… maybe its favorite food.
Pre-Trump as it still says Gulf of Mexico.
Mini golf?
I’m guessing the 70s based on the fact I had one just like that then
Sometime between 1959 and 1991. My guess mid-late 60s.
It’s clearly made before Trump.
The southeast quadrant of the I-410 beltway around San Antonio is not shown. It was completed in 1964.
Where do you see the map details from? I’m on the computer and every time I zoom in the size doesn’t increase.
I would ask it out to a nice dinner first, maybe some dancing after
Invite it out for coffee.
Start by buying it a drink?
…I’ll show myself out.
