This is a 1948 James Wren Lister pictorial bird's-eye view map of Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, California. With Avalon Bay in the foreground, boats and piers in the bay immediately catch the eye. A casino occupies a point in the foreground on the right, while Avalon's streets stretch into the hills. Schools, the post office, City Happ, a golf course, and a ball park are labeled. (The 'ball park' as it is simply labeled, was the spring training home of the Chicago Cubs and was known as Wrigley Field.) Thirty-seven vignette views frame the central image and present numerous aspects of life in Avalon and around Sana Catalina Island, including people enjoying water sports, a baseball player, and a smaller version of the large central map.
