A detailed street map of Los Angeles with concentric circles extending out to Griffith Park, Inglewood, and Annandale with inset "Map of the Ocean Beaches and Suburban Car Lines" at bottom right. Street car lines are indicated by black (yellow cars) and green lines (red cars). The verso features black & white street maps of Pasadena and Santa Monica. The loose map is accompanied by the 89-page Candrian Guide which includes 7 pages of Los Angeles-Carograms (pages 78-84), an innovation by Candrian for showing the routes of the transit lines. For a brief article on Candrian’s Carograms, click here. There are no past sales records and only one institutional example located on OCLC for a 1924 edition map (UC Berkeley). Blue paper wrappers (3.5 x 7.1").
