This scarce pocket map of Sacramento County was published by Edward Denny & Co. in San Francisco. Printed in blue ink, the map is divided into townships and identifies roads, private roads, railroads, electric railroads, power lines and more. The street-grid pattern of Sacramento is depicted and several ranchos are delineated including Los Americanos and Del Paso. Decorated by an elaborate compass rose at upper left. Folds onto rear wrapper (front wrapper missing). We found no past sales records for this map and only four institutional examples on OCLC.
