It is entitled ^Sketch of the Northwestern part of California, accompanying a Jour- nal of the expedition of Col. Redick McKee, U. S. Indian Agent, during the sunmer and fall of 1851, by George Gibbs.' The original is on file in the Indian Office. Written on it in pencil is the following location: Map 47, Tube 123.

And furthermore, it shows the locations of a number of the old trails in use in the early mining days, and of four very large Indian reservationf rou^ly surveyed by Colonel McKee and Geoiige Gibbs, but not confi ed by the Senate.
