This incredibly detailed grid plan of Dallas covers the area from Love Field in the north to Cedar Crest Country Club in the south. Individual streets are named and numerous parks, golf courses, and cemeteries are identified. A table of places is also keyed to the map. Four insets surround the map including one of the business section of the city, and the verso contains a street index for the map. Sold by the Goldman Bros. News Stores for 15 cents and folds in red paper wrappers (2.5 x 6.0"). The circa date is based upon other maps produced by the Stacy Map Publishers whose imprint is directly below the title.
