Pictorial Map of the Southwest United States

The Picturesque Southwest with some of its many and varied attractions

DESCRIPTION: A fine decorative pictorial map of the United States Southwest that plays to many of the stereotypes of the era for that region. One interesting feature near the center of Texas is a depiction of an airplane taking off from "West Point of The Air". West Point of The Air was the name of a 1935 American movie about pilot training at Randolph Field, about 15 miles northeast of San Antonio, Texas. Between October 1931 and March 1935, more than 2,000 candidates reported for pilot training at Randolph Field.
