Beneath these stones is the 9,000 square-foot Texaco map of New York State, made with 567 terrazzo mosaic panels, each weighing 440 pounds and the same size as the ones now underfoot. It is a 4,000 times enlargement of the Texaco touring map and shows the same cities, towns, highways, roads, rivers, lakes, and Texaco stations. The stones hold a fabric membrane in place to protect the badly damaged map from further deterioration. A representation of the Texaco logo hangs nearby where travel guides once offered information and a special World’s Fair edition of the Texaco New York State Touring Map.
