B. Visitor's Map of Downtown Miami [on sheet with] Visitor's Map of Miami Beach from Government Cut to Forty-Fourth Street, by Norman Garbush, circa 1940, black & white (24.8 x 16.5"). Two maps on one sheet showing the detailed street grid pattern of downtown Miami and Miami Beach including individual businesses. Each map has an index locating hotels, buildings, churches, arcades, and more. The verso contains a map of Greater Miami and three photographic illustrations. Norman Garbush is best known for his series of “Norman’s” maps of New York City. The circa date was inferred from the airlines shown serving Miami in the index and the presence of the Grossinger Hotel (completed in 1940), but not listing the hotels completed in 1941 (e.g. Sovereign and Avalon). Folds into a self-mailer, but is also laid into a printed wrapper with title "Map of Greater Miami" (4.3 x 8.8").
