"A Cartograph of Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay - Golden Gate International Exposition", White, Ruth Taylor

This pictorial map was issued in the official guide for the 1940 Golden Gate International Exposition (World's Fair) celebrating the recent opening of the two major bridges leading to San Francisco (the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge opened in 1936 and the Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937). The fair was held on Treasure Island, an artificial island created specifically for this event, in the San Francisco Bay along the route of the Bay Bridge. The map itself shows good detail of the exposition grounds with the "Tower of the Sun" in the foreground. A large scroll legend at lower left identifies 43 points of interest including the Hollywood Show and Pantheon, Ford Building, and "Vacationland" to name a few. The verso contains an index and enlarged views of several of the exposition buildings.
