This colorful pictorial map was issued by the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce to promote this “modern resort city of palm line boulevards, great hotels and apartments, fine shops and enchanting homes.” The street pattern is laid out, main thoroughfares are highlighted in red overprinting, and parks and golf courses are colored green. Recreational scenes line the coast including fishing, surfing, waterskiing, and more. Along the mainland to the west are illustrations showing the variety of transportation options available to access the region. There is related promotional text on verso. Self-folding (4.0 x 9.0”) into pictorial wrappers. We found only one institutional example on OCLC.
