In the lower center is the following description of the map: "What this picture is all about and who made it - 1934. Here is the tracery made by pioneer hands for a hundred years in the place that is IOWA. Here is a record in pictures! Politically, industrially and agriculturally, the story is told. Your favorite legend is no doubt forgotten. Bits of the open prairie show thru as a gentle reminder. Occasionally we use poetic license for the sake of ART. The Chronicler of all these tales is before you. She wishes to express her sincere gratitude to the State Historical Society of Iowa and the many professors of the University for valuable advice and constructive criticism." Mildred W. Pelzer. Text keys identify state parks, Iowan composers, musicians and nationally known literary figures. Signed in ink by Pelzer.
