Two maps on one sheet by Norman Garbush presenting the detailed street grid pattern of downtown Miami and Miami Beach including individual businesses. Each map has an index locating hotels, buildings, churches, arcades, and more. The verso contains a map of Greater Miami and three photographic illustrations. Garbush is best known for his series of “Norman’s” maps of New York City. The circa date is inferred from the airlines shown serving Miami in the index and the presence of the Grossinger Hotel (completed in 1940), but not listing hotels completed in 1941 (e.g. Sovereign and Avalon). Folds into a self-mailer, but is also laid into a printed wrapper with title "Map of Greater Miami" (4.3 x 8.8").
