Detailed rare map (20.5" H x 27.5"W)—a portion of Amador County, California showing the Mother Lode and adjacent mines. The mines are numbered and there is a corresponding list of the names of the mines and the bond holders or owners on the right side of the map. The map was drawn by W. E. Proctor and published by the Amador Record.

In 1848, Jose Maria Amador, with several Native Americans, established a successful gold mining camp near the present town of Amador City. In Spanish, the word amador means "one who loves." Some of the Mother Lode's most successful gold mines were located in Amador County, including the Kennedy, Argonaut and the Keystone.
