FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF N EW YORK f Circular No. 3 3 5 4 l I July 22. 1948 J MAP OF FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICTS AND BRANCH TERRITORIES, AND CHECK ROUTING SYMBOLS To the Banking Institution Addressed: On or about July 26, 1948, we will mail a map of the United States in five colors to each member bank and remitting nonmember banking institution, and to each of their branches, in the Second Federal Reserve District. The other Federal Reserve Banks will also mail a like map to each member bank and remitting nonmember bank and branch in their districts. The map is 42 by 28 inches in size and is printed on paper sufficiently heavy so that it may be mounted or framed if desired. The map shows, among other things, the State boundaries, principal cities and railroad lines and, in contrasting colors, the various Federal Reserve districts and branch territories. Each Federal Reserve Bank and branch city is also clearly indicated. On the margin of the map is a list of the check routing symbols now assigned to the par remitting banks in each Federal Reserve district, including the symbols used to identify immediate-credit items, deferred-credit items, items collectible through special collection arrangements, and items which may be routed optionally to more than one Federal Reserve Bank or branch for collection. We believe that this map will be of interest to you and should prove to be a useful supple ment to the Check Routing Symbol Plan, particularly in connection with the sorting of checks payable in those States, commonly referred to as “ split States” , which are not wholly within the territory of one Federal Reserve Bank or branch. A llan S proul, President.
