Colton".This was probably the best-known map of California in the eastern states during the 'fifties. It was republished annually for a time, with little or no change" (Wheat).

In the discharge of the duties of his commission, he visited the principal cities and villages of the state.He also traversed various parts of the mining regions, and sojourned with the miners, among their valleys and mountains" (Preface).
