This sheet was issued by the Miami Herald and contains a map of Miami and Miami Beach on recto with a map of Florida on verso. The city map shows the street grid pattern extending from Coral Gables to the northern limits along Gratigny Road with surrounding text listing public buildings, hospitals, libraries and more. The map of Florida depicts the major roads in the state along with eight "interesting tours around Miami" and advertising for the Miami Herald: " While on your trip through Florida, buy the Miami Herald each morning.” Circa date is gleaned from the listing of Allison Hospital, opened in 1926 and sold in 1929, when its name was changed to St. Francis Hospital. There are no past sales records or institutional examples listed on OCLC.
