I have "Supplemental Map - Routes through Richmond, Virginia."  It was 
drawn in 1950 and my copy was last updated in 1955.  It depicts the 
major roads that go all the way through the city proper.   The map is 26 
inches wide and 21 inches high; the orientation is taken from the 
orientation legend and the street names.  I cannot believe the 
difference between height and width is due to any difference in the 
city's layout: it's just not much different in real life.  Is having 
north to the left a convention on older city traffic maps?
