Old map of Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, United States of America.

-Canada border in Portal, North Dakota, to Brownsville, Texas, on the U.S.--Mexico border, a distance of 2,350 miles (3,782 kilometers). The notes and table at the bottom indicate the numbers of states, counties, and cities of different sizes traversed by the route and the population expected to be served. Besides issuing brochures and circulars aimed at convincing citizens of the need for a national road system, the NHA was a prolific producer of maps. Cartographic work was done at an office in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, where approximately 40 people were employed on the property of Charles Henry Davis (1865--1951), president and cofounder of the NHA. Davis believed that these maps would be helpful to a national highways commission that he hoped would be established and that they would assist the states in integrating their roads into a national system. Congress never embraced the plan put forward by the NHA, but the organization and its maps helped to promote the cause of a national road network.
