This sheet belongs to the atlas's rare original printing, engraved from the same plates as Cram's smaller pocket editions and colored by county across a state whose county lines were still being redrawn as new mining districts opened.

Reno marks the crossing point of the Central Pacific Railroad and the Truckee River, a junction town whose importance would only grow as mining slowed.

The map is almost certainly the first geological map of California and Nevada published anywhere in Europe, portraying ten distinct geological units through color lithography paired with letter symbols, a dual system that made correctly identifying each unit far easier than on most earlier American geologic maps. Guillemin-Tarayre drew on the investigations of the Pacific Railroad surveys and California's own Whitney Survey alongside his own fieldwork, and later geologists rated the resulting interpretation as more accurate than any geologic map of California produced before it, a distinction it held for several years after publication despite having been buried for decades in an obscure French volume that historians only rediscovered relatively recently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Comstock Lode anchors the map's Nevada coverage, the silver discovery near Virginia City that in 1859 had touched off the rush of miners, loggers, and traders whose sudden arrival necessitated a new railroad through the Washoe Valley connecting Virginia City to Truckee.
