A detailed map of the state that is delineated by county and presents the railroad network and shipping routes. Relief is presented with an attractive three-dimensional effect. An unusual large inset map visually demonstrates how 10 other states would easily fit within California's footprint, and a table to its right presents the state's economic output. The map is located at the rear of the Board of Trade's 18th Annual Report, which includes a letter to members, population statistics, rebuilding in San Francisco (due to the 1906 earthquake), various notes and tables regarding agriculture and forestry, climate, education, and more. Pictorial paper wrappers (6.8 x 10").
