This is one of the most attractive of the California Gold Rush period maps. Here it is published in pocket map form, with the 16 page "Appendix to Jackson's Map..." which describes the important mining centers. More ornate and detailed than Jackson's map of 1850, this is the only map to label Santa Cruz county "Branciforte." Shows for the first time, some of the mining activity in the south, which Jackson was involved with as an engineer. Map is full color by county, folded into dark green cloth covers 15x10 with "Jackson's Map Of The Mining Districts Of California" stamped in gilt.

List No

Note
This is a very unusual map for Rand McNally to issue - geological maps were not common in their catalog and this may be the only one they published. It was probably the interest in mining that motivated publication and the inclusion of "Mineralogical References" in the map key. The main source for the geological formations was Hayden's General Geological Map of Colorado that appeared in his 1877 Atlas of Colorado. But Rand McNally's map has much more detail on towns and railroads than Hayden and is a much superior map in that respect. Ellis 82 is the 1880 edition, which was also issued without geological coloring as "Rand McNally & Co.'s New Sectional Map of Colorado." This map is in printed full color, folded into dark blue cloth covers 16.5x10 titled "Rand, McNally & Co's geological and mineralogical maps Of Colorado" in gold.

Note
Huge, large scale map of one of the early and important coal regions of West Virginia. Land owners' holdings are shown in color with dates of original patents (George Washington had large holdings here). Six sections show the amount and kinds of coal found at different parts of the valley. An inset map of West Virginia shows the current and future water and rail connections between the Kanawha Valley and Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Several columns of text describe the geography, climate, and types of coal to be found. The sheer amount of information is impressive. This must be one of the best coal mining maps of its time, if not the largest. Map folds into embossed dark brown cloth covers 22x15 with "Title Map Of The Great Kanawha Coal Field. John S. Swann." in gilt.
