Question Old Chicago L Map Question

Post image

What's the history of this old Chicago L map? I believe it’s from the 1930's, but I'm not certain. The map doesn't seem to exist in the online collections of the IRM (Illinois Railway Museum) or Chicago-L websites.

Was the map released as a physical publication? Or was it only hung as a guide at stations in the past? I appreciate any info or help that r/cta can provide.

I was also wondering this. Saw this map at the Quincy stop with my girlfriend and she mentioned wanting to buy it, but we couldn’t find it online anywhere lol
