Elysian Park, Westlake Park and the Los Angeles River are located. Concentric circles are drawn on the map showing the various distances to City Hall. It includes an extensive street index. The map folds into red paper wrappers, which has an advertisement for the Log Angeles National Bank on verso. Compiled, published and copyright by Henry Rueger.
