Printed below bottom of sketch: "Map of the Bodie Mining District./A Birdseye View of the Mining District and the Town of Bodie, Mono County, Cal./ This sketch is a very accurate one being especially drawn for The Daily Stock Report by H.F. Sanford, of Bodie, in November 1879. It was taken from a point looking east, and shows the three or four bluffs and hills containing the ore/channels of the district.

Several small tears noted along bottom edge, one small hole near center top, one stain near bottom right, otherwise very fine overall.
