California Gold Rush relief map[edit]

California goldfields in the Sierra Nevada and northern California.

High detail, good use of color, lots of encyclopedic content - clearly shows the most important locations discussed in the California Gold Rush article. Easily meets all the FP criteria. (This is upgraded version pursuant to earlier suggestion.)

  • While this certainly very useful, it's not a very aesthetically pleasing map. The labels (and especially the lines) look bulky and unprofessional. I wasn't able to find on the image page where the original map came from, and the original map, while it does contain a lot of relief information, also doesn't look very good. It's a great contribution to the encyclopedia, but not as a high-quality image. - Enuja (talk) 02:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Made suggested changes available - perhaps you could let me know what "bulky" means in a bit more detail, or more specifically, your suggestion for fixing.NorCalHistory (talk) 17:09, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
