Note
This map is among the most detailed and largest scale maps of Yosemite issued during this part of the 19th century, rivaled only by the Wheeler Survey map of Yosemite published in 1883. This is a second issue of this map, here mounted as a wall map. This is the same as the first issue that appeared with the Yosemite Guide Book (see our #4212) except that it adds "Hite's Cove" on the Merced River just slightly west of its junction with Devil's Gulch. In the (1870) third issue (our #4650) Hite's Cove is relocated to a point just south of the Merced on the road titled "Road to Hite's Cove" and the erasure of the prior label is apparent. We have dated this second issue (1869) as a best guess. With black top and bottom rollers, and pink linen edging. Map is without color.

Note
More refined version than that in the 1869 "Yosemite Guide-Book" but less refined than the version in the 1870 "Yosemite Guide-Book", hence our selection of 1869 for the estimated date. The result of a surveys begun in 1863 under the direction of Whitney, the State Geologist. This map is among the most detailed and largest scale maps published of Yosemite during this part of the 19th century, rivaled only by the Wheeler Survey map of Yosemite published in 1883. Because of the folds, this map appears to have been printed as a part of a book, either "The Yosemite Book" or "The Yosemite Guide-Book". This map, all versions of which have the date 1865 printed on the map, is in at least four editions with the most noteworthy aspect being the revision of the rendering of the Valley floor: the first editions had a very inaccurate alignment of the Merced river; this edition of the map is the first to have a good river alignment plus the following features were added: Valley floor redrawn; limited number of Valley structures drawn and labeled including "Ferry", "Leidig's Hotel", "Hutching's Hotel"; "Hutching's Hs." (House), Lamon's Hs."; three orchards; "Ladders Bridge"; "Cap of Liberty"; "Engraved & printed by Julius Bien, N.Y."
