Offers excellent inland detail, to the level of individual buildings, especially in the city of Oakland. Depth soundings throughout. The triangulation for this chart was accomplished by R. D. Cutts. The topography is the work A. F. Rodgers. The Hydrography was completed by a party under the command of James Alden. The entire work was produced in 1857 under the direction of A. D. Bache, superintendent of the United States Coast Survey.
