Old California County Maps

Browse our large selection of historical California county maps are of particular interest to genealogists and historians.

Some antique maps were even created by “subscription” — landowners, farmers, and merchants paid to have their properties and names appear on the maps!

Many of our old California county maps were drawn in the period 1860-1880.
