This straightforward street map of Montgomery, Alabama, was originally copyrighted by the city in 1929, though this example was issued to accompany a post war tour guide to the city. Railroads (including streetcar routes), cemeteries, and major thoroughfares are noted throughout. Also of interest is Maxwell Field (now Maxwell Air Force Base) and Huntingdon College. The contents of the guidebook include a heavily edited history of Montgomery, descriptions of local institutions (churches, parks, cemeteries, non-profit organizations, etc.), recommended day tours, and lists of locations of interest (including ‘old homes’ and segregated movie theaters). Published in 1948 by the Tingatil Club, a local women’s civic organization, with proceeds from the book going to restore Montgomery’s Court Square Fountain.
