This is a 1974 Palm Springs Map Guide city plan or map of Palm Springs, California. Created for the 'million-plus visitors [that] flock to this glittering gem in the desert', an incredible amount of detail greets the viewer.

The Palm Springs Municipal Airport is illustrated and labeled as well. An inset along the right side details Cathedral City.

Advertisements for local hotels, country clubs, stores, and real estate agents occupy the rest of the sheet.
