Scarce Alaska map (not in Streeter or other references) showing the Gold Fields and the routes to them. The estimated publication date is derived from the appearance of an advertisement for this map in the 1897 Punnett Brothers Map of California (our #5014). The Bancroft Library has a copy which they date as circa 1899 and they note that it was originally issued as a pocket map with title on cover: "Pocket map of Alaska and adjacent British territory, showing the newly discovered gold fields and routes leading to them..." Water printed and state outline in blue color. With brown top and bottom rollers.
