This detailed set of maps describes the coastline from Monterey, California to the Columbia River. All three charts were drawn by W.B. McMurtrie and engraved by A. Rolle, F. Dankworth, O.A. Lawson, G. McCoy & W. Smith. The charts contain the eagle seal of the Coast Survey, general and specific sailing directions and fathom soundings in the bays.

Major points included are Humboldt and Trinidad Bay in California, and Klamath River, Pelican Bay and Rogue River in Oregon. The two headlands views are Trinidad Head and Cape Mendocino. Sheet No. 3 depicts the northern Oregon coast from Cape Arago, mouth of the Kowes River, Umpqua River, up to the mouth of the Columbia River/Cape Hancock or Disappointment.
