Note
1st edition. Wheat: "This map, a beautiful example of the cartographer's art, is unfortunately rare and little-known...it was by far the most accurate and complete map of California and of its gold regions which had as yet been published." This copy was issued as a wall map, but it has been nicely restored, varnish removed, rebacked on paper without the rollers. The other examples I am aware of were all pocket maps. See Shumate essay on Goddard. A second edition, reduced in size, was published in 1858, and a third edition was published in 1860 (see WH copies). Map is unvarnished and without rollers. Outline color by county with a full color wash.

Note
The first and earliest map of Alameda County listed by Vogdes and the second published county map of a California county, preceded only by San Francisco. The Bancroft Library catalog entry says "This is the oldest known map of Alameda County." Higley made several maps of local ranches and towns prior to making this county map. With brown top and bottom rollers and brown linen edging. With hand painted color by township.
