Map of the United States and its Highways, 1926 - Framed

The National Highway Association (NHA) was established in 1911 to promote the development of an improved national highway network in the United States. Under the motto “Good roads everywhere!” (Good Roads Everywhere), the NHA advocated for the construction and permanent maintenance by the federal government of a system of 50,000 miles (about 80,500 kilometers) of highways.

This system would be made up of six main national highways, 13 trunk national highways, and 40 connecting highways. The link roads, the NHA explained, would connect "the main network and trunk lines" and stretch "in all directions until the country as a whole is covered with almost a web of roads."
