Caption: Plat of Rancheria del Rio Estanislao
Additional Description: This image of the plat of the Rancheria del Rio Estanislao (courtesy of the Bancroft Library, University of California at Berkeley), produced by the US Surveyor General in 1862, gives some idea of the size of the nearly 49,000 acre grant. The red X denotes the marker site, and the town of Knight's Ferry, about a mile away, is located roughly at the upper part of the bend of the Stanislaus River that is below and to the right of the X.
