About this piece

Radio stations of the United States and southern Canada on a large printed map titled "Cram's Detailed Radio Map of the United States & Canada", issued by The George F. Cram Company of Indianapolis, with a corner panel reading "Compliments de Lewis Bros. Limited, Département de Radio, Montréal". The date is given as the 1930s. The sheet is a color-printed map with red overprint.

The map shows the states and provinces with their borders, rivers and principal cities in pale tones, and the red overprint marks the broadcasting stations as small dots and the boundaries of the time zones as heavy lines, with a clock face at the head of each zone labeled Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern Time. A key in the lower margin groups the stations by power. Station listings with call letters, frequencies and locations run in tight columns down the right margin, and the lower left carries the Montreal firm's panel, which in French offers other maps at modest cost and a free radio catalog.

As a document of early broadcasting, the sheet records where commercial radio stood in the days of the AM dial, when stations were found by their call letters and location.
