Second edition. With 76 page "Description of Oregon and California, Embracing an account of the Gold Regions...;" The full color map is folded into stamped black leather covers 13.5x8 with "Texas, Oregon And California" in gilt. This was one of Mitchell's most popular and important pocket maps. Other editions were published in 1846, 1851, and 1852, as pocket maps and as insets to the large Reference and Distance Map of the United States. It was also issued separately as a wall map. This issue has the gold regions outlined and labeled in California and an inset map "Maritime and Overland Routes to California" and a second inset map "Map of the Gold and Quicksilver District of California." Mitchell first issued this map as an inset to his Reference and Distance Map of the United States in the 1846 edition (see our copy).
