Southern Pacific Railroad died in 1998.  But Union Pacific is its successor and it's still around.  Why don't you contact them?  If they don't have it, they surely know of some old man who's been writing a history of the SoPac for the last 50 years, who probably has this under a pile of dusty old crap on his desk.

There's also this, just to get you started:  http://www.nrhs.com/about.

Caveat Lector:  I dictate a lot of my e-mails and can't always go back and edit, so sometimes they come out as gibberish.  Autocomplete also sometimes thinks that I'm speaking Spanish and inserts inapposite words.  Rest assured it's the software, not creeping dementia.

Hello Map friends, 

I received a reference question from a Faculty member in the Art/Photography Department to help find the information on this map. (see Attached)  As you can see there is no reference information besides the title "The Tahoe Region of the High Sierra, from the U.S. Geological Survey." 

Apparently, the map was printed in a publication produced by the Southern Pacific Railroad sometime around 1906.  They don't know this for certain but was the only information they could provide. 

I have searched all kinds of resources via the library and online for Southern Pacific RailRoad publications, USGS resources, Library of Congress, Special Collections, etc. with no luck. 

I am hoping that maybe one of you can help me find this map and the publication.

Thanks for the assistance. 

Cheers,

Chrissy
