I love this! It’s a 1927 map from Paramount describing which locations within driving distance of Los Angeles could stand in for farflung parts of the globe:

I wonder how many of these places could still do that stand-in duty today…

Remarkably little of that is in the IATSE Thirty Mile Zone – roughly Wales, the Coast of Spain and Venice.
