"One of the seminal maps in the history of California exploration and settlement, the Frémont-Preuss map of 1848 is the last of four major cartographic works documenting Lieut. John C. Frémont's two pioneering trans-Mississippi exploration expeditions to Oregon and Northern California in 1843-44 and to the Great Basin and Californian 1844-46. It provides the first depiction of the California region based on scientific topographic surveys, notably expanding contemporary geographic knowledge of the Sierra Nevada and Coast Ranges, and the drainage pattern of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys. Published on the eve of the California Gold Rush and statehood, this map also served as a powerful political document that promoted the prevailing American concept of the Manifest Destiny. It was one of the first maps to depict the creation of the Territory of Oregon and the establishment of the Mexican-United States boundary, which was ratified on July 4,1848; the first widely circulated map to announce the location of the discovery of gold deposits along the American and Feather rivers; and it introduced or perpetuated numerous California place names including Kern River, Walker Pass, Owens Lake, and the 'inspired' term, Golden Gate, designating the entrance to San Francisco Bay" (Ehrenberg).

Map 49 cm x 42 cm [19.5" x 16.5"] on a single sheet [61 cm x 47 cm] / [24" x 18.5"] Folds as issued. Major and important western map. This is the first map to include reference to the Golden Gate at the entrance of San Francisco Bay and the first to locate the gold fields 'El Dorado? or Gold Region. This map is also the first to locate the Humboldt River, that was given its name by this map. The 'Great Basin' was also named by this map. The 'Mormon Settlements' are located to the east of the Great Salt Lake. This is the rarer and smaller version, that excludes the Missouri and Oregon Territories, and only shows California and the Great Basin portion of 1848, that Fremont issued as a separate map. This is one of the only detailed reports to come out of Fremont's ill-fated Third Expedition. Folded in very good condition. …

[MAP]. Large Folding Map. 29.5" wide x 36" long. From the Surveys of John Charles Fremont and Other Authorities. Drawn by Charles Preuss. Under the order of the Senate of the United States. Washington City 1848. Scale 1:3,000,000. Lith. by E. Weber & Co, Balto. This important map was originally prepared to accompany Fremont's work, GEOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR UPON UPPER CALIFORNIA. Considered by many to be the greatest of Charles Preuss's maps. Preuss accompanied Fremont on his first three expeditions exploring the American West. "The one great general map of 1848 was that of Fremont and Preuss"-Carl I. Wheat, scholar and author of MAPPING THE TRANSMISSISSIPPI WEST. Wheat dedicates 8 pages to his discussion of the importance of this map. It is a map of all the territory of the United States west of the 105 meridian. Accordingly, it presents, in wonderful detail, the American West, from the front line of the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. It shows the routes followed by Fremont's various expeditions from 1842 through 1846, and benefits significantly from the exploration of Edward Kern, as part of Fremont's third expedition. The map is the first to show the location of the recent gold discoveries in California, and also is the first to identify the entrance to San Francisco Bay as the Golden Gate. The intent of the map was to attain completeness in its representation of the known cartography of 1848, reflecting the cartographic benefits of Fremont's many expeditions, as well as those of Kern and others. A wonderful map. Our copy is in exceptionally nice condition . bright, clean, and with no tears or splitting at folds.…

40pp. Octavo [21.5 cm] Previously bound with other material. Foxing to cover. Preuss's (1848, Senate) map present with restoration. The report of this third expedition of Fremont is uncharastically short, due to Fremont's court martial and resignation from military service. Nevertheless, it enjoyed great popularity since the discovery of gold was announced almost simultaneously with its publication. In fact, it is likely that the "El Dorado Gold Region" labels on the map were added at the very last moment before issue. The Preuss map contained here is one of the greatest cartographic achievements of the American West and helped to fill in the great unknown of the Great Basin and points farther West. According to Wheat "they constitute the only detailed reports ever made by Fremont on his expedition of 1845-1846; his journals subsequently were burned, and by the time he came to write his Memoirs he had forgotten nearly everything he did not remember incorrectly." The Preuss map also was the first to show the Mormon Zion (albeit wrong - the map shows the Mormon settlement at the northern shore of Utah Lake) and the first to use the name 'Golden Gate' in reference to the San Francisco Bay. Fremont described the work as follows: "The map has been constructed expressly to exhibit the two countries of Oregon and the Alta California together. It is believed to be the most correct that has appeared of either of them; and it is certainly the only one that shows the structure and configuration of the interior of Upper California." With this great map of 1848, John Charles Fremont passes from the Western cartographic scene. Wagner-Camp 150:2. Howes F368. House of Representatives 30th Congress, 2nd Session. Miscellaneous.
