Map Description:Tulare County, California is sparsely developed as shown on this scarce 1907 map of Tulare County California. drawn and compiled by Edw. A. Combes. This map includes Sequoia National Park, established in 1890 and the Tule River Indian Reserve as lands set apart and separately owned. Sequoia National Park was established under the administration of President Benjamin Harrison as the second American national Park. The National Park Service explains in its history of Sequoia National Park that it was specifically established to protect California's giant sequoia trees from industrial logging. The National Park Service had not yet been established and therefore federal protection of the territory and trees within Sequoia National Park was assigned to the U.S. Army Cavalry who were sent from San Francisco to the park from 1891 to 1913. The larger territory outside of the national park boundary is labeled "Sierra Forest Reserve". Therefore, this scarce map shows Tulare County and its unspoiled forest lands before development pressures arose from the large scale construction of roads for passenger vehicles.
The Tule River Indian Tribe of California is a federally recognized sovereign nation. The Tule River Tribe web site is an initial source of history and current status of negotiations by the Tule River Tribe to establish their legal rights to water rights in the Tule River. The Tule River Indian Reservation was established by U.S. Executive Order in 1873. The land area is 55,356 acres. One can see from the graphic representation of the Tule River Indian Reserve that the land area is a fraction of the area dedicated by U.S. Executive Order to the Sequoia National Park, and an even smaller fraction of the total land area of Tulare County. This land is shown on the 1907 map closer to its mid-19th c. state when the territory was originally watered by rivers, streams and the Tulare Lake that is not recognizable today. Subsequent dams and water diversion have reduced Tulare Lake from its original vast size exceeding the surface area of Lake Tahoe. Water rights are therefore a current issue in the wake of historic water loss and destruction of wetlands species. Please see research and comment provided in The Tribune by David Middlecamp in March, 2017.
The Tulare County Map "Reference" key shows symbols for railroads, roads, schools and five numbered supervisor districts. Trails, ditches and Irrigation Districts are also indicated on this map. Within Tulare County, districts are outlined in contrasting colors. The grid system overlaid the entire county indicates the numbered land lot system of the Public Land Survey System. Several railroads run through Tulare County. A Military Reserve is situated on the north eastern county border. Mountain heights are indicated. Abutting counties are also named. The map is framed in a simple but decorative frame.

This 1914 map of now popular wine country Napa County, California shows the county in 1914, with early roads, largely undeveloped, vast open land areas, and natural features. The numbered grid system on this map reflects the Public Land Survey System. Large open tracts of land are identified as ranches, such as Rancho Catacoula, or Rancho Las Putas, Rancho LaJota all of which are large swaths of undivided land. Urban grids are shown in the southernmost part of Napa County, and sections of the southernmost sections of Sonoma County and Solano County. The cities of Petaluma, Sonoma, Vallejo and Napa and Benicia show populated urban areas. A corner of Marin County is shown.

The map depicts the Territory of Utah in its final form--large areas had been removed and ceded to Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska since Utah became a U. S. Territory in 1850. The issue of polygamy prevented statehood until it was finally granted in 1896. This map features railroads and topography and uses color to set off counties from each other. Unlike most atlas maps of the period, this map identifies most small towns. The map is guaranteed to be moe than 135 years old. The map is in about very good condition: generally clean and bright, with slight toning of paper and one faint water stain near the center-left edge of the map.. Original. Single Sheet. Very Good-.
