This large sheet has two maps. The map on the right (14" x 16.5") covers most of California from Yuba City south to the border with Mexico. The southeast corner of the state continues in a large inset on the same scale. Topography is shown via fine shading and watershed is shown via attractive blue overprinting. There is much military information: forts, barracks, wagon roads, etc. Drum Barracks is located next to Wilmington in Southern California. The left side of the sheet shows Oregon and the northern portions of California and Nevada in the same detail as the first. The full page is Plate CXXXIV. Dated 1867 but published 1892.
