This is a vintage original c.1950s Atomic Age pictorial cartoon map of the Little Crow Lake region of central Minnesota. This is a folding map that folds open to about 22.5” x 17.5” with the pictorial cartoon map covering the entirety of one side. Included are whimsical icons and cartoonish caricatures illustrating special features and points of interest in the region. The upper left hand corner indicates this map was made by Color Process Advertisers of Willmar, Minnesota. No date is indicated but this is definitely a vintage original that looks to be from the early to mid 1950s.

Lakes featured include Green Lake, Nest Lake, Norway Lake, Little Norway Lake, Diamond Lake, Lake Andrew, Games Lake, Lake Florida, Eagle Lake, Elkhorn Lake, Henderson Lake, Long Lake, Big Kandiyohi Lake and George Lake. Towns featured include New London, Spicer, Pennock, Willmar, Kandiyohi, Atwater and Lake Lillian.

This vintage original map is folded as issued in an excellent, near mint condition with just the modest toning from age. The colors are bold and this wonderful vintage pictorial map would frame up beautifully.
