At Stanford
Early maps of California depicted the area as an island. Glen McLaughlin collected nearly 800 of these maps over a period of 40 years, which he donated to Stanford. You can learn more about this collection through the "California as an Island in Maps" Spotlight exhibition.

Other maps of California at Stanford can be found on SearchWorks.
