Rare map of the central portion of northern California, from Sacramento in the south to Oroville in the north, with the western edge just beyond the Feather river, and east to Bardwell's Bar. There are a number of insets of towns an cities: San Francisco; Folsom, Washington; Nevada City; Grass Valley; Oroville; Auburn; Placerville. OCLC/WorldCat lists just five copies (none apparently in wall map format), and locates four of them, at the University of California Berkeley, the Huntington Library, and two at the University of California Davis.
