Description
Twenty-eight attractions ranging from Africa, U.S.A. to Jai-Alai are presented on this charming map of Palm Beach County, illustrated by Jimmy Johnson and published by the West Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce around 1960. The title claim of “Tropical Florida’s First Resort” is suspect in its veracity, at least based on the modern conveniences and recreational activities depicted.
Numerous additional locations of interest are shown in red and represent an attempt to appeal to the broadest audience possible, or perhaps to give the appearance of a busy, bustling landscape (or both). Religious and educational institutions, industrial centers, sports facilities, and nightclubs – Palm Beach County has something for everyone! Further details about the major attractions are provided on the verso, along with “Quick Facts about Palm Beach County Playlands.”
