From functional to fantastic, the depictions used by air carriers to list the destinations they served and the scope of their networks served both practical informational needs as well as inspirational desires. Outside of the appeal of aircraft themselves, the wonder of route maps sparked the imaginations of many travelers and future staff! The long span of time, evolution of route systems, and diversity of regions covered by the Northwest Family makes for endlessly entertaining discovery.
These maps came from timetables, annual reports, advertisements, inflight magazines, and more sources – as we continue to catalog and digitize our collection, these pages will continue to grow!
