This 1958 Disneyland main-gate map (used for both 1958 and 1959) features a different style and color-scheme than the iterations of the previous two years. The identifying year and copyright information for Walt Disney Production (minus the s) can be found on both the front panel, as well as the interior map section, with a printing date of 6-1-58.

The front cover is void of a Disney character for the first time. Panel One instead shows five symbols, each representing one of the park’s lands, along with the standard “Welcome to Disneyland” headline and a revised paragraph of introductory text.

All of us at Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom hope that your visit today will be a happy and memorable experience for you and your family. Your enjoyment of this and future visits is the first consideration of all Disneylanders. We always welcome the opportunity to assist you in any way.

The inside panels of the quad-fold brochure hold a less-detailed, but more refined (in terms of artwork) map titled, “Disneyland’s Five Lands. Furthermore, the the old lettered map-key has been replaced with updated descriptions of each land. The excerpt from Walt’s dedication speech remains.

DISNEYLAND: TO ALL WHO COME TO THIS HAPPY PLACE…Welcome

 

Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past…and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America…with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.

The “New Attractions” section (unique to this version of the map), which replaces the 1957 version’s land descriptions, discusses the park’s three latest additions.

When Disneyland opened, Walt Disney promised that it would “never be completed, but will continue to grow, to add new things, as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Each year since opening in July, 1955, Disneyland has added new and unique attractions for the enjoyment of its guests. There are now 45 exciting adventures inside Disneyland. The latest additions are:

 

THE GRAND CANYON. Viewed from the trains of the Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad (including the new Excursion Train). It is the longest Diorama in the world.

 

THE “COLUMBIA.” A three-masted, fully rigged 1790 sailing vessel on the Frontierland river.

 

ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Through the Rabbit Hole are the happy, nonsensical adventures from this famous story. Located in Fantasyland.

There are no additions to the list of show and exhibit offering, but two deletions: the American Dairy Association’s exhibit and the American Motors Circarama from Tomorrowland. Also, the wording in various attraction descriptions has been revised.
