    Map of portions of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego Counties, Southern California

    Visual Materials

    No old shelf mark. An attempt to show the central character of Wildomar as half way between Los Angeles and San Diego, four hours by rail from either place. Wildomar was founded in 1885, and Orange County still does not appear on map, so the map probably predates 1889, when that county was created. Map based on an earlier map but with Lakeland and Wildomar added; for the original, see RB 359324 & ephMPCALIF0027. Prime meridian: GM. Relief: hachures. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Cylindrical. Printing Process: Lithography.

    The collection consists of 6202 black-and-white and color photographs, pen and ink drawings, and postcards, 1412 black-and-white and color negatives, 2606 black-and-white and color slides, and ephemeral materials, 1898-1982 (bulk 1920s-1930s) collected by the Automobile Club of Southern California. They form a general photographic reference collection as well as a broad visual survey of topics of interest to California motorists. Included are images of sites in North and Central America (with an emphasis on California), Europe, the Pacific Islands, and portraits, as well as images related to other subjects of interest to the Club's membership. Many of the images were published as illustrations for articles in the Club's first member magazine, Touring Topics. A large portion of the photographs were taken by authors of articles that appeared in Touring Topics; others were commissioned by the Club; and others appear to have been sent to the Club.
