'Map of Newport Harbor - Orange County - California'


A vibrant bird's-eye pictorial tourist map of Newport Beach and surrounding areas in Orange County, California, created by the Newport Harbor Visitors Bureau. This map highlights key features of Newport Harbor, including the Yacht Basin, the original Newport Landing (established in 1865), Newport Dunes Aquatic Park, Lido Isle, Harbor Isle, Irvine Terrace, Corona del Mar, Balboa Coves, Newport Heights, Cliff Haven, Hoag Presbyterian Memorial Hospital, and the local high school. The illustration extends to Los Angeles on the horizon, Santa Ana, and the Modjeska and Santiago Peaks, showcasing notable landmarks such as the Trail of the Padres (1769), the University of California Irvine, Knott’s Berry Farm, Disneyland, the ruins of Mission Estancia, Orange Coast Junior College, the Santa Ana and Irvine Coast Country Clubs, a Marine Base, the Balboa Bay Club, several piers, yacht clubs, and the ferry connecting Balboa and Balboa Island. A whimsical touch is added with the depiction of a sea serpent dated 1904—a nod to local lore and reports of supposed sea monster sightings. This is the third bird's-eye view of Newport Harbor by Claude Putnam and is scarcer than his earlier editions.

Condition Guide

We assess the condition of each item using three categories: Good, Fair, and Poor. We strive to ensure that any significant flaws are clearly shown in the images provided and detailed in the accompanying condition statement.

Good

The item presents well, with no significant flaws, and is in frameable condition. Minor imperfections—such as light spotting or offsetting, small blemishes, tight margins, neatly repaired tears, or discreet/professionally executed restoration—do not materially detract from its overall appearance.

Fair

The item shows noticeable flaws but remains in frameable condition. Some buyers may feel these imperfections affect its visual appeal. Typical issues may include more prominent spotting, blemishes, bleed-through from the reverse, obvious offsetting, visible or extensive restoration, wear along fold lines or junctures, small wormholes, trimmed or closely cropped edges, or less carefully executed repairs.

Poor

The item has major flaws that significantly impact its presentation and/or suitability for framing. These may include heavy spotting, staining, bleed-through, offsetting, unrepaired damage, or poorly executed repairs such as tears, holes, or areas of paper loss (including within the printed image). The item may also be fragile and prone to further deterioration.
