Disneyland Map 1958 - Vintage Original Park Guide Walt Disney Productions

Step back to the golden age of Disneyland with this beautifully illustrated 1958 map produced by Walt Disney Productions. This isn't just a guide—it's a snapshot of optimism and imagination from the park's early years, capturing Disneyland as Walt Disney first envisioned it, when every attraction represented the birth of an idea that would change entertainment forever.

Rendered in a sweeping bird's-eye view, the map reveals Disneyland in its original five-themed-land layout: Main Street U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland. Each land was meticulously hand-drawn with the same artistry that defined Disney animation. At the heart stands Sleeping Beauty Castle, the gateway to Fantasyland and the symbolic core of Walt's vision. The Jungle Cruise winds through Adventureland's tropical foliage, the Mark Twain Riverboat circles Tom Sawyer Island in Frontierland, the Matterhorn rises majestically, and Tomorrowland promises a glimpse into the future with Space Station X-1 and the Rocket to the Moon.

Distributed through magazines, travel agencies, and Disney's own television program, this map served as both introduction and invitation—encouraging families to step into stories they knew from the screen and experience them in real life. Surrounding vignettes celebrate the excitement: families arriving by car, children pointing at attractions, and the promise of adventure around every corner. The map balances fantasy with precision, documenting the park's exact design while radiating the warmth of a storybook. It captures Disneyland before decades of expansion—a portrait of the park in its pure, original form.

Each reproduction includes a custom historical letter detailing the story behind the map, making it perfect for Disney collectors, theme park enthusiasts, California history buffs, and anyone nostalgic for mid-century Americana. Printed on heavyweight archival paper or hand-stretched polycotton canvas, every attraction, pathway, and illustrated detail is restored in museum-grade clarity for generations of enjoyment.

Paper prints ship rolled in heavy-duty tubes, while canvas editions arrive gallery-wrapped on solid pine stretcher bars with pre-installed hardware—ready to display the moment it arrives. Bring home a piece of Disney magic and celebrate the park that started it all.
