(State Engineer's Map of Northern California). | (State Engineer's Map of Northern California). | A nine sheet map showing all of Northern California from the San Francisco Bay area to the Oregon Border. Very detailed with a large scale (1 inch to 4 miles), this shows the waterways, railroads, towns, prominent mountains, township and section lines, and roads. Because of its great water supply detail, it was probably created as part of the irrigation studies of W.H. Hall being done at the same time. In fact, it came from the same group of maps that included Hall's ms maps of Southern California (see our copies). Rare, with only one other copy located at the Bancroft Library. The Bancroft copy has an index sheet which is included here in facsimile.
We print high quality reproductions of historical maps, photographs, prints, etc. Because of their historical nature, some of these images may show signs of wear and tear - small rips, stains, creases, etc. We believe that in many cases this contributes to the historical character of the item.
