“Drawn in Broken English" by Jolly Lindgren, who published a number of “Hysterical” maps of America’s national park. Birds fly above the Grand Canyon carrying a number of witty captions, and others roost atop similar sign posts, other captions appear randomly: "Don't Crowd Folks Plenty of Seats in the Balcony", "Come Down and See My Etchings Some Time", and "Speaking of Depressions, This One Has Been Here Quite a While Too!" Useful information is included, and the map shows main roads, trails, points of interest, all decorated with a compass rose stating that "This Part, Ladies and Gentlemen, Is Correct!"
