This map (part of atlas sheet 56D), first published in November 1883, was for many years the standard map of the region. A reprint was issued with Hutchings' IN THE HEART OF THE SIERRAS (1886). Farquhar, Place Names of the High Sierra, p. 122. A couple of dog eared corners and wrinkles at margins, but an excellent copy. Folded into the original brown cloth pocket case lettered on front panel "[printer's ornament] MAP [printer's ornament] / OF THE / Yo Semite Valley, / CALIFORNIA." Very rare in this pocket map format. It is probable that Hutchings prepared these for the Yosemite trade. (#168050).
