They titled these inexpensive tourist souvenirs "Hysterical Maps," seeking to distinguish them from historical maps, featuring the highlights of gold mining areas in California, including logo of "California gold Centennials 1948-1949". Map shows major cities, capital, camps, rivers, etc. Relief shown pictorially.
