Vintage Disneyland Tickets – Knott’s Maps
All kinds of fun stuff on this map, I sure wish I could have visited the park back then. I see the Dreger Clock (Save the Dreger clock link) in front of Ye Old Candy Shoppe!
Full high resolution scan of the map – 28mb
The back of the map lists all the great shops and things to do and see. If you read thru this, try and imagine what a neat experience this place must have been.

A couple of vintage post cards, probably a little older than the map.
And to finish off the post, here’s a great tourist photo from January 1957. Gotta love the lady on the right, the sunglasses, the purse, the skirt, she looks great!

Boy, has this park been destroyed, or what? The map brings back some great memories. Thank you! So many of those attractions survived for such a long time.....what a shame Cedar Fair didn't care enough to preserve the incredible pieces of history that they had acquired.
Love that Knott's stuff! Oh, if only I could spend a few hours in the Plastic Shack again. Good times....!
There never was another place like Knott's Berry Farm in its heyday.
You have some nice items there. Believe the map is the 1958 version.
Sure miss all this.
Love the little Portrait Studio illustration. Look at that picture he’s painting. It’s looks exactly like his model!
Also like the Haunted Shack description: “Scientists are puzzled”. I picture a guy in a white lab coat walking out of the shack shaking his head and muttering “all my years of study…swept away.”
