"The Earliest Commercially Printed Map of California to Show the Baselines and Meridians in California. A remarkable early map of Califiornia, published by Leander Ransom for the California Academy of Natural Sciences and lithographed in San Francisco by B.F. Butler. The map is one of the first maps of the state of California printed in California. We have dated the map at 1853, which is the first year of the Academy. Vodges dates the map as "some time in the fifties." Rowell dates the map as "185-". This is the only map of which we are aware the records the lines of equal variation of the compass, or Magnetic Needle."(Ruderman) Date estimated. Showing county boundaries, townships, and Land Offices. Townships and ranges are numbered. Includes explanation. Leander Ransom was born in Colchester, Connecticut and educated in New York. Came to California in 1851 with Samuel D. King, who was the U. S. Surveyor General for California. They arrived in San Francisco on June 14, 1851. From July 1851 to September 1851, Ransom conducted the first Public Land Survey in California as Deputy Surveyor. The Mount Diablo Principal Meridian and Base Line extending from the Mount Diablo Initial Point, established on July 17, 1851 by Ransom, controls Public Land Surveys within two-thirds of California and all of Nevada. B.F. Butler was one of the earliest lithographers working in San Francisco. Butler was the lithographer for Eddy's map of San Francisco, published in 1851.
