Description
Highly detailed map of California and Nevada, from the 1st edition of Rand McNally's Indexed Atlas of the World. This map is probably the most detailed map of the two states to appear in a 19th Century Atlas. The detail is truly remarkable, far out distancing any prior map. Includes hundreds of towns, rivers, lakes, mountains, roads, railroads, railway stations, Indian Reservations, Forts, mines, Ferry Points across rivers, irrigation canals, lava fields and a host of other details. Many of the towns named in the map are now ghost towns or have otherwise disappeared from the map.
