This scarce pocket map of St. Louis was published by local R.A. Campbell and shows the street grid pattern of the city. Red outline color is used to delineate the 28 wards, and some points of interest are colored in green including parks, cemeteries, gardens, U.S. Arsenal, and "Base Ball Park" among others. Features an inset of the downtown district at bottom left and a detailed street index at top right. Advertisements for Pope's Theatre and E. Jaccard Jewelry Company further decorate the map. Folds into paper wrappers (3.9 x 6.1"). First edition with only one institutional example located on OCLC (Stanford).
