This is a c. 1931 Robert C. Cormack pictorial map of the 'mother lodes' in California and Nevada from the 'Romantic Days of Gold'. It embraces not only the 'Mother Lode Belt' in the Sacramento Valley, but also the Comstock Lode around Virginia City, Nevada, and recreational wonders such as Lake Tahoe, Giant Sequoias, and Yosemite. The map is a product of the Golden Age of Pictorial Maps, a global phenomenon that began in the late 1910s in Europe, but by the 1920s-30s developed several regional styles, including, as here, the 'Jo Mora' California style.
