A fun pictorial map of the Southwest issued by the Sunshine Area Chambers of Commerce and credited to artist B.E. Lewis. The map covers Arizona, New Mexico, and west Texas and is filled with illustrations for the tourist including fishing, skiing, historic sites, and an unusual number of bikini-clad sunbathers in New Mexico! Air routes, not roads, are drawn on the map owing to an increase in commercial aviation following World War II. The verso contains related text and illustrations.
