This early map of Phoenix, published in 1952 by McGrath & Selover and printed by McGrew Commercial Printery, offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's past, including promotional information, a brief history, and local advertising, when the population was approximately 107,000.
The main feature of the map is a detailed layout of Phoenix streets, with local landmarks and important buildings marked. The promotional information and brief history provide context for the city's growth and development during the mid-20th century. Accompanying the primary map is an "Area Map of the Heart of the Sun Country" on the reverse side, which offers a broader perspective of the surrounding region.
This historical map serves as a valuable resource for researchers and collectors interested in the urban development and cultural context of Phoenix during the 1950s. The inclusion of local advertising adds an additional layer of insight into the economic and social landscape of the city at that time.
