(Disneyland, 1953) In August of 1953, architect Marvin Davis created a plot plan of the orange groves purchased by Walt Disney on which to build his theme park. While reviewing the plot plan with Davis, Walt Disney took his grease pencil and drew a triangle to represent where he wanted the trains to run, thus creating the boundaries of the park and giving birth to Disneyland as we know it. Measuring 28"x25" this incredible piece of Disneyland history represents not only the earliest known appearance of the shape of Disneyland or its depiction in Anaheim, but also Walt Disney's personal involvement and input in every aspect of the park, including its boundaries. This site plan comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society that is signed by Marvin Davis, the creator of the site plan who witnessed Walt Disney drawing the boundaries; and Michael Broggie, Founder & Historian at the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society. Additionally, the historical record of this site plan can be further read about in the Disneyland History book, "Walt Disney's Railroad Story" by Michael Broggie. This incredible artifact represents the true beginnings of Walt's park and is a well-established piece of Disneyland history. The plan is professionally mounted in a custom 40"x37" frame with a plaque. The site plan is in good condition with some tearing around edges of the paper and expected wear from age and use.
