43 x 30" map, Survey by Andrew Hatch, Published by Warrern Holt, 1867, early copy on yellowed vellum paper, possibly a 1920s copy. Original litho by GT Brown, famous African-American lithographer. We've never seen an original, but must be one or more in institutional holdings. Important and incredible map showing all the little mining camps on Peavine, the mills at the edge of the mountain, and all the settlements along the Truckee River. The CPRR railroad line is shown, finished here, but uncompleted otherwise. Reno is not shown, which did not yet exist. In its place is "Lake's Bridge" (nor "crossing"). Three towns are shown, Crystal Peak, Auburn (a mill community for Peavine mines), and Peavine. Over Twenty different mines or mining companies are shown, including a placer gold area east of the SE part of the Peavine hills. Shows a proposed railroad from Peavine to Truckee. Very rare.
