Pub Note:
The four sheets to this survey were only partly completed - the two bottom sheets (III and IV) are complete but the two upper sheets are not. Hoffmann was the principal topographer. Wheat says the Northwest sheet was issued; does not mention the northeast being issued. WH says the two northern sheets were issued with areas left unsurveyed; he doubts that they were ever mounted on linen and colored. So the bottom two in this issue can be considered "complete". Vogdes lists the date as 1872 (and elsewhere as 1873!). We think 1873 is correct. Vogdes says sheet II, northeast sheet, was issued in 1872; he also dates sheet III and IV as 1872, and sheet III as having an 1871 issue (Fitch had a copy of this 1871 sheet III issue on thin paper, folded into covers, Cat. 41). There is a note on the map reading "The portion of Nevada included between the parallels ... taken from the work of the 40th Parallel Survey in charge of Clarence King, by permission of Genl. A.A. Humphreys, Chief of Engineers." Outline color by county. Relief shown by hachures. Unmounted sheets on heavy paper. Never folded.
