THE KNOTT'S BERRY FARM MUSEUM: 3. Knott's Maps

One of the more enjoyable aspects of visiting Knott's Berry Farm was trying to cover the entire farm during one visit. To help you find the various attractions, rides, shops and eateries, Knott's handed out various guide-maps to help you find your way around the farm. Most of these maps (i.e., "Map of Knott's Berry Farm and Ghost Town and 42 Intriguing Shops") folded into four pages, with a list of attractions on the front side and a map of the grounds taking up the entire back side. Early versions of these maps (from the 1950s and 60s) mainly consisted of black and white sketches that helped pinpoint exactly where the various attractions and shops were located. In the 1970s, Knott's began distributing a larger, more colorful, map of the entire farm, down to the littlest detail. It's interesting to see how these maps changed throughout the years and what attractions were added to each new map.
