Map of Northern California

Description: No old shelf mark. The untitled upper portion of a map of California showing the area from Woosland south to Oakland. No bridges. The presence of the San Joaquin & Sierra Nevada Railroad indicates that the map is from after 1882 (Fickewirth, page 131), and this seems to predate 1888, when a number of lines (e.g. S.J. & S.V. and Vaca Valley & Clear Lake) were consolidated with Northern Railroad (Fickewirth, page 91). 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. Printing Process: Lithography. References: California Railroads, Alvin A. Fickewirth, 1992, RB TF24 C3 F53 1992. Verso Text: MS notes: S24 D.C.O.R. 50.00.

Route map Lassen National Forest California

Visual Materials

No old shelf mark. One of a series of Automobile Route Maps through National Forests in California. The verso of all six maps are identical, except for the name and location of the state parks depicted. Estimated dates for this group based on rail roads that appear on the maps, some of which had a limited tenure; the San Joaquin and Eastern Rail Road (on map ephMPCALIF0184) was constructed in 1912 (Fickewirth, page 131), and the Boca Loyalton Rail Road (on map ephMPCALIF0187) was abandoned in 1916 (Fickewirth, page 17). Prime meridian: GM. Relief: no. Projection: Plane. Printing Process: Lithography. References: California Railroads, Alvin A. Fickewirth, 1992 (RB TF24.C3.F53.1992). Verso Text: Forest Service invitation and suggested supplies to carry in the Forest.
