This is a 1944 Municipal Advertising Board city map or plan of Pensacola, Florida. The map depicts downtown Pensacola from Bayou-Chico to Bayou Texar and from Kupfrians Park to Pensacola Bay. Highly detailed, all the city's streets are labeled, as are several squares and places. The Frisco Railroad, the L and N Railroad, and the Pensacola, Mobile, and New Orleans Railroad are illustrated. Several docks, piers, and wharfs are noted along Pensacola Bay, including some that are serviced by the railroads.This charming map is accompanied by the original 'Guide to Pensacola Florida' with which it was issued, a letter from the Municipal Advertising Board, and its original envelope.
