Large Antique Illustrated Map of California Vintage - 1930s

This 1936 panoramic map of California offers a detailed bird's-eye view of the state, highlighting major points of interest and key elements of commerce, such as the oil fields near Long Beach, orange groves, old mining towns, and more. The map presents California's attractions and regions with great detail, covering all parts of the state, although the coast, in the foreground, is particularly emphasized. Parts of Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona are also depicted in the same style. The map's title mentions the state along with illustrations of present and past life in California, from conquistadors to winemakers to skiers. A greeting signed by Frank F. Merriam, Governor of California, dates this map to the period 1934-1939. Size: 96 x 41 cm
