Map #1
"An exquisitely reproduced set of nineteenth century maps of Yosemite Valley and the surrounding Sierra Nevada region, all originally found in monographs and nearly impossible to collect today. Each map comes with two or three pages of background information on the cartographer, origin, and significance of the map. These text pages prove an invaluable supplement for the map librarian and collector. The Joseph LeConte map does not show relief, but the other four depict relief by hachuring. The Wheeler map of Yosemite Valley is a truly remarkable example of American style hachuring taken to its ultimate expression. Great West Books has done a great service in reproducing these maps." (Bulletin of the Western Association of Map Libraries)
