1925 Los Angeles Harbor Western Gateway and San Pedro California Road Map W/ Ads
Measures about 9-1/2" by 4-1/2" folded and about 20" by 30" flat
Includes old typewritten bookseller's note (with price of $25) noting the publisher United States Auto Road Information Co. and the date 1925, we think the bookseller's note dates somewhere around the 1960s or 1970s
Date of 1925 also written on map in handwriting, we think the antiquarian bookseller determined that date from outside information rather than from printing on the map, but note that the same printer produced a Colorado map in 1923 that resides in the History Colorado collection so the date seems accurate (the radio station mentioned in the business index located 1825 S. Pacific Avenue opened in 1925)
Many parts of the current city appear as vacant areas, there are also many period advertisements from local businesses some of which still exist
Pre-owned, pretty good condition, handwritten date as previously noted, some browning and small losses including some small holes by the folded corner points, but intact and suitable for framing or displays, seems to be exceedingly rare
