First Automobile Map

According to Official Guinness Records,

For an automobile race on Thanksgiving Day in the United States in 1895, the Chicago Sun Herald published a simple map of the 86-km course from Jackson Park,Illinois to Waukegan, Illinois and back to Lincoln Park, Illinois.
Frank Duryea tore the map out of the newspaper and referred to it frequently as he drove to victory. It is now considered the first American automobile road map.
