April 5th is National Read A Road Map Day! This day promotes road map literacy and, even though we have apps on our phones, being able to read a map for navigation is still a useful skill. For today, Howard letterpress printed a large map, made in 1969, of the City of Oakdale. We are not sure why we have this photo engraving but it details what the city looked like at the time. Oakdale is just 15 miles outside of Modesto and 75 miles southeast of Sacramento, California. This was printed with reflex blue rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. #SacHistoryMuseum #NationalReadARoadMapDay #roadmap #oakdale #sacramento #museum #History #letterpress #asmr #printing
