"The Sacramento Valley from the American River to Butte Creek…", Derby, George Horatio (Lt)

A map of major importance to the California Gold Rush. On a scale of 4-1/2 miles to the inch, it provides a detailed view of the region with numerous small towns, ranches, Diggings,including Mormon and Dry, trails and roads. Interesting notations concern grazing, road conditions, soil fertility, etc. This early look at the Gold Regions locates Sacramento City just south of the American River (as a simple grid pattern), Vernon, Fremont, Sutter, Green Spring, and much more.
