All I know is that it is from the Granger Collection. I don't think it is the Cahuenga pass, because I don't recall the bridges or the side roads being like that. The little snippet of map at the bottom, however, is St. Louis.
True. They'll be collecting the taxes from the customer. Further, technically the customers owe the tax now, but nobody tracks or pays the use tax on the books.
I really think you ought to write the book you hoped to see, I know I would buy it.
I honestly would love to see a book about Highways the PE and the development of Los Angeles as a metropolis, and point out how the PE and highways made a place, rather then the radial downtown/suburbs thing you get back east (or even in Seattle), into the unique collection of cities that Southern California is.
Furthermore, another book about the evolution of highway engineering - I believe that Caltrans has done some of the most intelligent highway engineering of anywhere in the country, when you compare the road design quality to the typical CA Freeway, to what we have up here in Seattle, its just night and day.

"I wish they would just break down and pay taxes to the states they sell books in."
They won't be paying taxes. The customer will!
