Paramount Location Shooting Map

This has been making the rounds. Ambrosia Voyeur originally uploaded this to flickr.



It's a map used by Paramount in 1927 as a handy reference for where to go when you want to shoot a movie on location but don't want to spend the money travelling all the way to wherever the story is set. Location scouting is an art unto itself and one we haven't really talked about much on All Movie Talk. But I love snippets of movie lore like this. Thanks to wintermute for bringing this to my attention.
