Historical information

Road travelers relied on foldable paper maps to chart their journeys, especially when venturing beyond familiar territory. Maps helped identify highways, towns, and landmarks, enabling drivers to choose efficient or scenic routes. These maps were indispensable tools for travel, planning, and exploration. This map also identified the location of Vacuum Oil Company Dealerships throughout Victoria.

These paper-based maps were used before Global Positioning System "GPS" revolutionized navigation.
