This uncommon and attractive tourist's map captures the slopes of the popular ski area in Idaho. The map centers on the Sun Valley Lodge, which opened in 1936, and the Challenger Inn, which opened in 1937. The world's first chair lifts were installed on nearby Proctor and Dollar mountains in 1936, graphically shown on the map with towers, cable, and hanging chairs, each labeled as a "Chair Tow Line." Ruud Mountain's ski jump, which opened in 1937, is depicted as well. Drawn by W. Willmarth. On verso are black & white photos and text on winter sports and a small map showing Union Pacific routes to the West. A fine promotional map produced by the Union Pacific Railroad company. Self-folding into pictorial covers (4 x 9").
