Revised map of part of Nevada. Representing Comstock mines and the position of the Sutro Tunnel and the counties surrounding it. Shows mining claims, location of mineral veins, counties, roads, flumes, railroad, Indian reservations, and the Sutro Tunnel. Towns or settlements of Silver City, American Flat, Gold Hill Town, Virginia City, and Flowery Ridge. Includes small vignettes of buildings, structures, and mountain peaks. Relief shown pictorially. The Comstock Lode, a huge vein of silver discovered in 1857 under Nevada’s Mount Davidson, was the greatest precious-metal discovery since gold was found in California in 1848. Sutro Tunnel, conceived by German engineer Adolph Sutro (1830-98) as a means of draining off the huge quantities of water infiltrating the ever-deeper shafts. Constructed under Sutro’s leadership between 1869 and 1878, the tunnel extended several miles from Mount Davidson to its exit on a piece of land granted to Sutro in the vicinity of Dayton.

First edition, second state. Shows mineral deposits by color. Lineal descendent of the 1869 larger map of California and Nevada by Holt, Gibbes, and others. Also shows 10, 20 and 30 mile railroad grants. This is not the first state of the first edition - that has 11 land districts instead of the 14 found on this copy (see our #5154). The "unexplored" area in the Northeastern corner of California has been removed with much topographical detail changed from the first state. Eureka County is added in Nevada. The change of the Land Districts from eleven to fourteen includes a radical change in boundaries, some names changed, and numbering changed, indicating a major restructuring of the General Land Office administration in 1873. Map is folded into red cloth covers 16x10 with "Holt's Map Of California And Nevada." in gilt.
