1932 Wagner Map of Louisville
(back to Darren's Map Collection)
My copy of the 1932 Wagner Map of Louisville is actually a neat little item. The cover folds out and you can take the actual map of the city outside of the cover. On the inside of the cover you will find a rather nice-looking map of Downtown. The map has a few pencil and/or pen marks and shows a little wear.

Inside Cover: Business District Map
The Downtown map is a separate sheet glued to the inside of the cover.
This is actually a rather nice feature. In most of today's city maps
the downtown map is printed on the same sheet of paper so you have to
unfold the map to look at the little map of downtown. If you lift the
left side of the map you will see an advertisement for the Globe
Lithographing Company of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Detail Of Main Map
I didn't feel like unfolding the map and trying to put it on the
scanner to scan a particular area so I scanned whatever area was
revealed without having to fold it out, but this is still a good
excerpt. Solid orange lines (and letters) represent electric car
lines, dotted orange lines (and numbers) represent bus lines.
