Extremely long map, folded into original black stiff printed wrappers, of the entire West Coast of the United States. Shows from Tijuana to Vancouver. Verso is filled with uncolored ads and promotions, mostly photographic, for towns and cities along the route. Most of the ads are for hotels. Very good condition with some splits starting along folds. The recto is brightly colored. The geography is somewhat fanciful in places, with towns and features (such as the cities of the Central Valley of California) being shown closer to the Pacific Ocean than they actually are. Map illustrations include stylized state houses, smoking volcanoes, relief map details for mountains, miniature architectural drawings of Missions, National Park Lodges, oil derricks in the oil fields of Southern California, and much more.
