Description: U.S. Coast Survey Petaluma and Napa Creeks California Nice example of a mid-19th century chart or map (dated 1861)issued by the U. S. Government at the beginning of the Civil War showing the Napa River and Petaluma River valleys, in California. Essentially two maps on the same sheet, the left side features a chart of the Petaluma Creek from Petaluma City as it empties into the San Pablo Bay. The right side features the Napa Creek from Napa City to the Bay, now known as a production center of California wine. The southern part of the Napa Creek as it empties into the San Pablo Bay between Mare Island and Vallejo is included in an inset near the bottom border. Excellent inland detail to the level of individual buildings, especially in Petaluma City, Napa City and in Vallejo and the Naval Yard. It also notes towns, roads, and inlets. Nautically this map offers a wealth of practical information, including depth soundings and notes on tides, soundings and undersea dangers. The chart was produced under the supervision of A. D. Bache, Superintendent of the U.S. Coast Survey (and grandson of Benjamin Franklin). Condition: Folding chart in good antique condition, nice impression on sturdy, mildly age-toned paper, slightly darkened along the folds. Size: Approx. 33 x 25 inches Will ship USPS Media Mail for free.
