An important map of BC done before the famous Trutch map of BC. The areas of the Fraser Valley Gold rush and the Cariboo Gold Rush are outlined on the map.
The time that the map was done coincides with the end of the Faser Canyon Gold rush in 1860 and the beginning of the Cariboo Gold Rush.
Faser Canyon Gold rush occurred in 1858 after gold was discovered on the Thompson River at its confluence with the Nicoamen River, a few miles upstream from the Thompson's confluence with the Fraser at present-day Lytton.
The Cariboo Gold Rush was a gold rush in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Although the first gold discovery was made in 1859 at Horsefly Creek, followed by more strikes at Keithley Creek and Antler Creek in 1860, the actual rush did not begin until 1861, when these discoveries were widely publicized. By 1862, following the strikes at William's Creek, the gold rush was in full effect.
