Lithographed map, printed in color. 53x65.5 cm (20¾x25¾").

Real estate map of Fresno, of which Warren Heckrotte comments, "The various tracts of Colonies are colored red, otherwise B&W. I count 17 colonies; 11 vineyards; 2 orchards. Ownership of parcels is generally indicated by initials. The Bank of California owns a very large tract. The publisher Kearney owns a large tract and is the proprieter of The Easterby Rancho Colony and the Richland Tract. Verso is filled with text extolling lands in Fresno County." There is an inset "Map of California Map of Summer & Winter Resorts and other places upon and near The Central & Southern Pacific Railroads in California." There was also an 1884 issue of the map printed by Schmidt Litho Co. OCLC/WorldCat lists only four copies of this 1885 edition, and two of the 1884 issue.
