Title: Map of Southern Oregon and Northern California Compiled From the best Authorities, and from personal surveys and explorations, exhibiting a reliable view of the rich Gold Region of the North, as well as the mineral region of middle California Embracing also a corrected chart of the coast from San Francisco bay, to the Columbia River agreably [sic] to the late United States Coast Survey Author: Scholfield, Nathan Place: San Francisco Publisher: Marvin & Hitchcock Date: 1851 Description: Lithographed map. Lith. by J.W. Hartman. 57.7x43.4 cm (23½x17"). Rare map of northern California and much of present Oregon. Wheat notes that "The map extends from the Columbia River on the north to San Francisco on the south. It correctly shows the Trinity River flowing into the Klamath at some distance from the sea. It also contains a line, denoted 'Western Line of the Gold Country,' extending from the mouth of 'Redwoods Creek,' north of Eureka, in a southeasterly direction, and thence easterly (south of Cottonwood Creek) to the Sacramento, thence northeasterly and again southeasterly to the Feather River. 'One House Town' appears on Clear Creek, southwest of Shasta City. Schofield's map is one of the most interesting, as well as one of the earliest, attempts to represent the newly explored Trinity and Klamath river diggings." OCLC/WorldCat locates only four copies of the map, at the University of California Santa Cruz, the Oregon Historical Society, Yale University, and the Huntington Library.
