Description

Detailed map of the California Gold Regions, from an unknown French source.

The map extends from the Tlamath (Klamath) River and Mt. Tsasshtd (Shasta) to the Pueblo de losAngels, S. Anna and S. Fernando, identifying the Gold Mines, Silver Mines and the route of Fremont through California.

Pyramid Lake, Lake Humboldt, Lake Carson and Lake WAlker are shown, along with Lake Bompiaud (perhaps an early tribute to Aime Jacques Alexandre Bonpland, who accompanied Humboldt on his explorations of Mexico and South America. Curiously, the location of the Lake is not far from the future location of Lake Tahoe.

The source of the map is unknown to us.
