Facts Concerning Boulder Dam--On to Salt Lake It's Up to U-tah

9 x 4-inch folding brochure which unfolds into pictorial bird's eye view map, 18 x 31 inches. Fine condition with just a couple very small blemishes along edges. 

Beautiful full color bird's eye view map of the region surrounding Boulder Dam. Includes Salt Lake City to the north to Boulder City in the south, and from Las Vegas in the west to the Grand Canyon in the east. The map portrays Boulder City larger than Las Vegas. Gambling was legalized in 1931 but dramatic growth of Vegas took place after World War Two. 

Pamphlet extols the virtue of the recently completed Boulder Dam, "Down in the rock-walled recesses of the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, an army of men and a vast array of titan machinery are busily engaged in the construction of one of the greatest engineering project of its kind the world has ever known - Boulder Dam." And of course, much ink is spilled on the greatness of the Union Pacific Railroad. 

This pamphlet also has a label on the front panel which reads, "On to Salt Lake It's Up to U-tah", which we have never seen before on this colorful travel pamphlet.  As they say, "suitable for framing."
