This is the last in a series of "blue border" Disney maps, covering the period from 1966-76. This group differs from the previous series (1958-64) in that it shows Tomorrowland and the attractions Disney had created for New York's World Fair (1964-65). These maps also differ from the previous series as they lack any characters in the surrounding border. There is good detail of all the attractions, restaurants and shops with banners identifying the various parts of the park including Main Street, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland. At lower left is an illustration for "Space Mountain Coming Summer 1977" with a rather ambiguous-looking building noted as a "Space Mountain - future attraction." Title is enclosed in a large compass rose at lower right. No artist is noted, though the map is based upon earlier works by Sam McKim. Accompanied by an original Disneyland paper bag.
