Vermont postcard, undated

Historians like to know the dates of maps. This postcard of Vermont is not dated. But the roads listed on the postcard might provide a clue.

The map shows main roads like Route 2 and Route 5. But it does not include the highways, like I-89 or I-91. The interstate was built between 1957 and 1982. So this postcard is probably from before 1957.
