America the Wonderland

Step back into 1954 and discover America through the eyes of renowned cartographer Ernest Dudley Chase in this extraordinary vintage map of America. Originally designed for the Philadelphia Inquirer Co., "America the Wonderland" captures mid-century America through hundreds of hand-drawn vignettes. From the Empire State Building and Capitol building to buffalo on the Great Plains and oil wells across the landscape, Chase combines iconic landmarks like the Alamo, Lincoln Memorial, and Mormon Temple into a comprehensive visual document of American diversity.

This 1954 map tells stories through intricate cartographic detail. Spanish missions, state capitols, the Rose Bowl, Yale University, and Independence Hall document America during the post-war era. The detailed inset views showcase architectural marvels and celebrate the natural resources and wildlife that shaped the nation. This is remastered from the original 1954 map and is made in our San Diego facility using archival-quality materials. Perfect for history enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone who appreciates the artistry of mid-century cartography, "America the Wonderland" serves as a daily reminder of the remarkable country we call home, and the endless adventures waiting in every state.
