File:Map Of The States Of California And Nevada By SB Linton 1876.jpg
The present edition (1876) is significantly revised from the 1869 edition, the most obvious change is the significant evolution in the county configurations in Nevada. There is the addition of statistical and other data around the map. The list of Land Offices has grown from 10 to 14 (adding Pioche, Austin, Carson and Elko), with The Surveyed Land Grants in California are listed (over 500 in all) and 17 Government and Indian Reservations are identified. The Judicial Districts are named. Views of University of California and the Capital building in Nevada have also been added.
The map locates the Boundaries and Office Locations of the Ten US Land Districts and includes a finely engraved vignette of Capital Building in Sacramento, which was completed in 1874. The map key also identifies Townships, County Seats, Proposed, Surveyed and Built Rail roads and a host of other fine details. Many of the Spanish Missions are noted, along with Wagon Road, Road Houses, Mines and Mining Districts, Springs, Indian Settlements and early Ranches and land owner claims. A number of early exploration routes are noted. Along the coastline, many landings, points and early settlements are identified.
