No old shelf mark. Intended as a wall map, but folded, with street index in the surround, this map suffers from Thomas Bros. penchant for not dating their maps. Based on phone directories of San Francisco and Oakland, this was probably made in the mid to late 1920s, as the Thomas Brothers were only at the Samsone address for a brief time; this does not contradict internal evidence, since the latest building depicted is City Hall, which was constructed in 1926 (Stockton memories, R. Coke Wood, 1977, page 73, RB F869 S8 W66. Prime meridian: GM. Relief: no. Projection: Plane. Printing Process: Blue line print.

Manuscripts
Collection of maps surveyed for the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office between 1860 and 1897. The maps primarily focus on excavations, improvements, and expansions of roads throughout Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Orange Counties, with geographic coverage ranging from Malibu to Pomona and Newhall to San Juan Capistrano. Most of the maps show boundary lines of the various Ranchos existent throughout these counties, and many also include buildings, railroads, telegraph lines, land use, relief, and elements of the natural landscape such as canyons and rivers. Also included are maps showing the San Gabriel Mission, San Juan Capistrano Mission, and an elevation of the Los Angeles County court house. Some of the Ranchos depicted include San Antonio, Azusa, San Jose, Los Nogales, San Pedro, San Joaquin, San Rafael, Centinela, La Puente, Sausal Redondo, La Ballona, Rodeo-de-las-Aguas, Cienega, San Pasqual, and San Francisquito. Property shown includes that of Elias 'Lucky' Baldwin, Pio Pico, and Abel Stearns. The maps were originally housed in 16 bound volumes.
