Over the weekend, the Alice & Shelby column, an online LATimes take on news
from around the state, quoted la.curbed.com from 15 November. They were
talking about some pictorial maps of California which, it seems like, get
rediscovered ever few years. But, the reproductions included in the online
articles were quite faithful to the colors as I remember them, so you might
want to spend a few minutes looking at them in the online version.
The full link (which takes nearly two whole lines on my phone) is:
la.curbed.com/2016/11/15/13643870/cartoon-old-map-california-lowell-jones
Hope this helps.

Subject: Pictomaps vs. pictorial maps
Hi all,
Looking at LoC's list of cartographic subject cutters, what's the
difference between .A4 ("Remote-sensing maps. Photomaps. Orthophotomaps.
Pictomaps" and .A5 ("Pictorial maps")?
Thanks,
Jordan

Subject: Re: Pictomaps vs. pictorial maps
My understanding: A pictomap is a standard topographic map with imagery
where the colors have been value enhanced or classified into easy to
interpret classes (as opposed to a raw image). A pictorial map is an
artistic map rendering, usually with elaborate artistic renderings of
structures on the map and often at an oblique angle.
