Issued by Bank of America just one year after the park's opening, this pictorial map of Disneyland depicts the iconic theme park with a crisp, splashy mid-century modern graphic style. Main Street, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland are all represented by their most recognizable attractions. Surrounding the map is an extensive listing of the park's shops, eateries, rides, and attractions, divided by section. The map folds into a brochure titled "Your Guide to Disneyland," with a map of California and advertisements for Bank of America on verso. Bank of America helped to fund many Disney films as well as the construction of the park. As noted on the map, there was a Bank of America branch prominent on the park's Main Street - the very location where tourists could have picked up this map back in '56.
