This is a 1949 Amy Jones pictorial literary map of the United States. Book titles appear across the country, with at least one in each state, including Gone with the Wind, Walden, My Ántonia, and Main Street. Authors are also referenced throughout, such as William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Emily Dickinson, and Robert Frost. Pictorial vignettes are scattered throughout as well, illustrating scenes and characters from many of the referenced works. Three insets are situated along the bottom border and focus on the 'New York Area', the 'Chicago Area', and the 'Boston Area'. Portraits of ten authors flank the title cartouche and include depictions of Irving, Longfellow, Poe, and Twain. (more details)

The haunts and hangouts of world famous authors around Los Angeles.
This is a 1987 Linda Ayriss and Susan Lewis pictorial literary map of Los Angeles, California. The overall scene is the stereotypical idea of a fancy Hollywood party: people dressed to the nines drinking cocktails around a pool with palm trees in the background. A minimalist map of Los Angeles occupies the 'pool', with 122 locations numerically identified. These correspond with an index along the bottom border listing important sites in the lives of the city's most recognizable authors. The guests around the pool represent some of these authors, including Edgar Rice Burroughs (dressed as Tarzan), Ray Bradbury, Langston Hughes, Ayn Rand, John Steinbeck, Will Rogers, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. (more details)
