Description

Interesting map of Southern California, with a magnifying glass superimposed over Downtown Los Angeles, published by National Travel Services, whose location in downtown LA is shown on the map.

The map forms part of a larger tourism and promotional brochure for visitors to the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition in San Diego.  Advertisers for Hotels, Apartments, Restaurants and various other attractions ring the primary map image, promoting LA's Theaters, Yosemite's Curry Village, Mt. Lowe, the LA Ostrich Farm, Horse Racing  and a host of other advertisements intended to appeal to the out of town traveller, likely arriving by train from east of the Rocky Mountains.

The map verso includes a second 1934 William Eddy map graphic, with similar promotional and advertising information.

(Los Angeles Railroads) Cal. Cent. Ry. Los Angeles Yards. Scale 110 ft. to 1 in.

This large manuscript plan offers an expansive and detailed treatment of the California Central Railway yards in Downtown Los Angeles, situated between Macy Street and Enterprise Street west of the Los Angeles River. At over 10-feet wide, this intricate plan is not merely a static document but a living record of the railway's evolution, comprising multiple layers of manuscript additions and amendments, such as tracks laid in 1892 and '97, buildings, lots, and more. The notation of the "Official West Boundary of Los Angeles River" at the top of the plan further anchors it within the geography and history of the city.
