Very good. Even overall toning. Closed margin tear professionally repaired on verso. Size 24 x 18 Inches. This is a c. 1931 Robert C. Cormack pictorial map of the 'mother lodes' in California and Nevada from the 'Romantic Days of Gold'. It embraces not only the 'Mother Lode Belt' in the Sacramento Valley, but also the Comstock Lode around Virginia City, Nevada, and recreational wonders such as Lake Tahoe, Giant Sequoias, and Yosemite. The map is a product of the Golden Age of Pictorial Maps, a global phenomenon that began in the late 1910s in Europe, but by the 1920s-30s developed several regional styles, including, as here, the 'Jo Mora' California style. A Closer Look Coverage extends from Chico to Merced and from Stockton and Sacramento to Virginia City. Regional landmarks are identified, including Sutter's Mill, where a 1848 gold discovery launched the California Gold Rush. Towns, villages, and mining camps are populated by comically illustrated miners and their families. Cormack does not restrict his caricatures to humans. Horses, bulls, and bears also exhibit comical expressions. Regional legends, such as the three men hanged at Hangtown (also known as Placerville) and Donner Pass are also labeled. Cormack also includes a covered wagon emblazoned with the phrase 'California or bust'. Natural Wonders Yosemite Valley is illustrated on the lower right and both Yosemite Falls and El Capitan are labeled. The region's 'big trees' are also identified, including the giant sequoias at the modern-day Calaveras Big Trees State Park, Toulomne Grove of Giant Sequoias, and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. Lake Tahoe appears to the right of center along the California-Nevada border. The California Gold Rush The discovery of Gold at John Sutter's mill by James Wilson Marshall in January of 1848 was one of the most definitive moments in American history. Coming at the end of the Mexican-American War, the timing of the discover could not have been more propitious. The combination of new seemly unlimited territory and the lure of gold lead to a literal stampede of adventurers, prospectors, merchants, and homesteaders ready to take their chance for a new prosperous life on the frontier. Moreover, the Gold Rush was not limited to Americans crossing the Great Plains. European, Australian, and even Chinese immigrants rushed into California hungry for their part of the great strike. This Great Migration of peoples transformed the United States in the span of just a few years from a former colony into an expansive transcontinental nation on the cusp of becoming a world power. The California Mother Lode The 'Mother Lode' is a long alignment of hard-rock gold deposits stretching northwest-southeast in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. It was discovered early in the California Gold Rush when placer deposits in streams led prospectors to search for the source or 'mother'. The source was a zone some 1 to 4 miles wide and 120 miles long between Georgetown on the north and Mormon Bar on the South. Once placer deposits were exhausted, miners turned to the mother lode, digging deep mines all along the corridor. During the years following the California Gold Rush, the Mother Lode was one of the most productive gold-producing districts in the world. Individual gold deposits within the Mother Lode include gold-bearing quartz veins up to 50 feet thick and thousands of feet in length. The Comstock Lode The Comstock Lode was a massive silver ore discovery under the eastern slope of Mount Davidson, in the Virginia Range in Nevada. Named after the miner, Henry Comstock, the Comstock Lode was the first major silver mine in the United States. Mount Davidson had deposits of both gold and silver and was mined for gold from about 1850. History credits Ethan and Hosea Grosh with the discovery of the mountain's extraordinary silver deposits - the Comstock Lode - in 1857. Although they discovered the Comstock Lode, neither Grosh brother profited from the c.…
