Sierra Nevada From the Four Creeks

This tinted lithograph of “Sierra Nevada From the Four Creeks” was produced by A. Hoen & Company (active 1843-1945), Baltimore, after an original sketch by expedition geologist and artist William P. Blake (1826-1910). It was printed as Plate IV in Volume V, Part II following page 26 in the "Geological Report by W. P.

Williamson, Corps of Topographical Engineers, in 1853."

The volume was printed as part of the "Reports of Explorations and Surveys, to ascertain the most practicable and economical route for a railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean" in 1856 by A. P. O. Nicholson (1808-1876) of Washington, D.C.
