Description

Interesting large format map of Southern California, hand colored by counties.

Many early counties not yet present, including Orange, Riverside and Imperial. While ostensibly a railroad map, the only railroads are in Santa Clara, Monterrey and Los Aglees Counties.

Even San Diego lacks rail service.
