    This is a monumentally large map of California focusing on identifying practicable railroad routes. With few exceptions, railroads today do indeed follow the routes shown here. It covers the region from Bodega Bay in the north to below San Diego, and shows San Francisco Bay area, Monterey, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, as well as many missions. North is to the left. The Practicable Route is shown from Ft. Yuma, Arizona to San Francisco and Martinez just across the bay from Benicia. Two parties explored these routes, one led by Lieut. R.S. Williamson and another by Lieut. J.G. Parke. Several parallel routes suggested in most areas. There is good topographical detail, with some areas noted as not having been "explored instrumentally" while the "size and position are not accurately known" for Tulare Lake. From Reports of Explorations and Surveys, to Ascertain the Most Practicable and Economical Route for Railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean… 1853-56 Volume XI
