“Set a true course for Pier 66 Franchised Marinas wherever you cruise, because there you’ll get high-quality Phillips 66 marine fuels and lubricants.” – Text, verso. This interesting double-sided pictorial map was one of a series of ‘Cruise Guides’ designed by Rand McNally and issued to promote the services and products of the Phillips Petroleum Company. This particular example covers the Great Lakes and the course of the Mississippi River, with smaller insets dedicated to the areas around Chicago, Cleveland, and the Straits of Mackinac. Each maritime map is dotted with illustrated vignettes that showcase lighthouses, wildlife, coastal architecture (mostly lighthouses), and vessels of all shapes and sizes. Nautical features like beacons, buoys, radio signals, track lines, and landmarks are noted throughout, along with the locations of Phillips 66 marine stations. Safety warnings, an index of place names, mileage charts, and lists of radio stations are also provided, though a caveat warns users that the map “cannot take the place of official government charts and is not so intended.”
