Description

One of the Earliest Maps to Report the Discovery of Gold in California 

Detailed map of the American River from the foothills of the gold region to the Sacramento River, showing Sutter's fort and a number of mines.

The map accompanied the message of the President announcing the discovery of gold in California. making it one of the earliest obtainable maps of the gold regions.

The map covers the country along the American River from its junction with the Sacramento River to just above Weber's Creek, showing Sutter's Fort and numerous other diggings. Lt. William T. Sherman, of later Civil War fame, drew the map when he was adjutant to U.S. Military Gov. Mason. A most desirable Gold Rush map.
