Browse All : World Atlas by Burroughs, H.N. from 1850
1-3 of 3
Author
Mitchell, Samuel Augustus
Note
Unlike 1849 ed., this shows California gold region named and shown in yellow. It also adds basin and range topography in Nevada including Carson and Walker lakes, and the Humboldt River (although in a manner different from the late 1850 and subsequent additions -- they probably drew the topographical changes in quickly, and then corrected them in later editions). Roads colored in red ink. Relief shown by hachures and spot heights. "Oregon" and "Upper or New California" in bold type; all areas shown in full color. Shows Indian tribes and includes descriptive notes. Prime meridians: Greenwich and Washington.

Note
Unlike earlier 1850 ed. (with title "Oregon, Upper California & New Mexico"), this divides the area into California, Oregon, Utah Territory and New Mexico (all shown in full color) for the first time. "Gold Region" is shown but not specially colored as in earlier 1850 ed. Relief shown by hachures and spot heights. Shows Indian tribes. Prime meridians: Greenwich and Washington.
