A. Seeing the Salt Lake Country, by Salt Lake Transportation Company, dated 1922 (8.8 x 15.2").

The mountainous terrain is well rendered, and there are small illustrated views throughout showing the sights. Verso features information for the tourist. Printed by Stevens & Wallis, Inc., Salt Lake City. Self-folding into pictorial covers (4.0 x 9.2)" showing the Salt Lake Temple and a loaded car of sightseers. Condition: Issued folding with three archivally repaired fold separations, only one of which is in the map and extends 1" into the image at bottom. There is light soiling on covers. (B+)
