A detailed map by the noteworthy Laura Whitlock, one of the few female mapmakers in the United States at the time. The map is centered on downtown and extends to Slauson Avenue in the south, Pico Heights in the west, and Highland Park in the northeast. Color overprinting reveals the numerous rail lines of the Pacific Electric and Los Angeles Railways winding throughout the region. Surrounded by a comprehensive street index. Folds into red paper wrappers (3.5 x 8.0").

Whitlock's maps were frequently copied on the market, but she was very diligent in litigating to protect her copyright.
