"Chicago Motor Coach Pictorial Map of Chicago [on verso] Chicago Motor Coach Pictorial Map of Downtown Chicago", Clason Map Company

This attractive pictorial map of Chicago is "the first of its kind to be made of any American city." It shows the street-grid pattern with fine architectural detail of important buildings including "churches, hotels, schools, industrial plants, hospitals and other public and private institutions." Color overprinting further identifies different motor coach routes in the city. Includes an inset map at lower left showing the complete footprint of the city. The verso contains an equally large map focused on the downtown area. Circa date is based upon the appearance of Grant Park Stadium, which was renamed Soldier Field in 1925. Pictorial paper wrappers (4.0 x 7.5") with compliments of the Chicago Motor Coach Company.
