Description:


Blue-line map. 32x72 cm (12½x28¼").



Rare map of the water system in this storied Gold Country county, much of which was developed to provide water for mining and milling operations. Of particular significance with the present copy of the map are a number of red ink holograph notations and markings on the map, showing recent developments, with names of ditches, etc., with note in lower blank area "The red shade shows the present system." There is an initial in red pencil, apparently signing off on the additions. OCLC/WorldCat does not list any copies of this map, though it does list two examples of a similarly titled map for a larger portion of the area, one of them in manuscript, both from 1907.

Condition
Paper toned, glued to backing board causing some creases; very good.
