I've long been fascinated by World's Fairs. I've been lucky enough to have attended several myself and have been collecting photos from them for years. I've even written books on some of them, as listed on my site www.worldsfairphotos.com.

Maps, maps, maps - Part 6
Besides the maps that were parts of the fair itself, the 1984 New Orleans World's Fair - like most others - also had maps for sale. I'm not sure how well they sold, for while I have seen many copies of the guidebook for sale over the years, I don't think I have come across a separate stand-alone map from the fair. Some of the maps from other fairs show just the name of a pavilion and where it's located, while others have small drawings of the pavilions, which really helps place where a particular image was located on the fair site.
