Street map of Palm Beach Florida

DESCRIPTION: Promotional street map of Palm Beach, Florida from the Chamber of Commerce ca. 1940. A simplified map for visitors; limited in scope, this edition lacks detailed coverage of West Palm Beach and does not include either a key to street names or names of the inhabitants found in other similar maps by Brockway. Dated with reference to "Island no. 17" which is labeled "Pinner's Island" in Brockway's 1942 edition.

Verso is blank but with a blue ink stamp: "Courtesy of the Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce."

The map spans an area of southern Palm Beach from the Southern Boulevard Bridge (now Bingham Island Bridge) at north, past the Lake Worth Bridge, and terminating past the Lantana Bridge near the north corporate limits of Manalapan. By George S. Brockway, Engineer.

Features on the map include:
  • Lake Worth Municipal Golf Course
  • Phipps Ocean Park
  • Ibis Isle
  • Lake Worth Municipal Casino and Pool
  • South Ocean Club
  • WWPG radio broadcasting station
  • Island 17 and Island 18
  • Ambassador Hotel Villas
  • Hypoluxo Island

Two manuscript notations in pencil apparently for additions of Clifton and Corley Streets.
