By infosponge76, 27 August, 2008
Description

This is a very large wall map of California in 1900 showing public land grants and Indian Territory. This is an official map made by the U.S. government in Wasington Dc, General Land Office. It is in excellent condition with very little browning, a few tiny stains on the top, no tears or mold or any other discoloration . It is very detailed, showing California as it was in 1900. Every creek, every hill, state parks, and even trails. It is apparent that the men who created this map put in a great amount of time and effort.
