Description
Issued roughly six years after the 1849 California Gold Rush, this is a beautiful and clean 1855 early edition example of Colton's map of California. Colton's California with its San Francisco inset beautifully illustrates the rapid development throughout the state that followed in the wake of the Sutter's Mill discovery. Like most of Colton's state maps, this map was derived from an earlier wall map of North America produced by Colton and D. Griffing Johnson. Covers the entire state of California with a large inset of San Francisco in the upper right quadrant. Colton identifies numerous important emigrant and exploratory routes including Fremont's Route and three proposed routes for the Atlantic - Pacific Railroad. The Beswith route comes into the state near Pyramid Lake before turning south to terminate in San Francisco. At the bottom of them map are two forks of the Parke Route which ran through New Mexico before splitting off into two routes, one of which terminated in San Diego, the other of which ran up the coast to San Francisco. Offers a detailed treatment of the California gold region is Sacramento Valley, but makes no specific mention of gold deposits. Further identifies various forts, rivers, mountain passes, fords, and an assortment of additional topographical details. Hand colored in pink, green, yellow and blue pastels to define territory and state boundaries. Wide margins. From the Colton Atlas of the World volume 1, published in 1856 by J. H. Colton. 12.625 x 15.5.
