Full David Rumsey Map Collection Catalog Record: Author: California Geological Survey ; Whitney, J.D. ; Hoffmann, Charles F. ; J.T. Gardner Date: 1869 Short Title: Sierra Nevada adjacent to the Yosemite Valley. Publisher: N.P.: No Publisher Type: Wall Map Object Height cm: 52 Object Width cm: 77 Scale 1: 126,720 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. Reference: Wheat 1194.
