Dear Greg,
Apologies if I'm way off track with this ==> my first time responding
and I just wanted to take a stab at this to see whether I could assist.
I'm noticing a different OCLC record, which you've probably already
looked over . . . this record indicates only one library holding the
print map in its collection ==> Library of Congress. Also, it indicates
a 1993 1st edition of the map title, circa 1920 Venice of America.
The record forwarded from OCLC:

Hello everyone:
I have someone researcher who is looking for a Venice, CA map. They
describe it as:
-----------------------------------------------------
The map reads in top right corner:
Venice of America
Nearest Beach point to Los Angeles
On the shores of the Pacific Ocean
Venice of America
Information Bureau
216 West Fourth Street
Hotel Angelus
Los Angeles Cal.
-------------------------------------------------------
I identified a google earth overlay that seems to have this map on it.
Anyone know the source? I have attached a link to this image.
Here is an OCLC record for a map which I think may be it. (Unfortunately
the record has no holdings). Does anyone know if they have a copy of it?
They would like to view original, not a reprint or book reproduction.
Title: Venice of America ....

Publication: Venice, Cal.,

Description: 1 map on sheet ;; 49 x 64 cm.
