As the first map large-scale, poster-sized map published for sale in Disneyland park, this was used as a marketing tool to build interest in attending this new thing called a “theme park.” A large number of these were sold both in the park and through a promotional offer with Sunkist Orange Juice, a sponsor in the park. It is interesting to note that Disneyland was built on what was once large groves of orange trees, so the sponsorship of Sunkist seems appropriate.
