No old shelf mark. The untitled upper portion of a map of California showing the area from Woosland south to Oakland. No bridges.

MS note on Bouldin's Island, "Asparagus beds 250 cars produce 1899." Prime meridian: Mount Diablo (also base line). Relief: shaded. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Cylindrical.
