This handsome map of the young state of California features early county development. There are a few railroads in the mining district and several proposed railroads. The Wagon Road to Gt. Salt Lake heading toward Las Vegas is prominently depicted. The state borders Utah Territory, with a large inset map showing the settlement in the Great Salt Lake region. A smaller inset depicts San Francisco Bay and Vicinity.
