Sketch of trail from Lytton and Lillooet to Alexandria and the Cariboo District.
Sketch of Trail from Lytton and Lillooet to Alexandria and the Cariboo District. By Matt. B. Begbie, Judge of the Supreme Court, [New Westminster], November, 1861. 10 miles to 1 inch. [British Columbia, 1861].
Descriptive text; camps and trails marked. Observations by Judge Begbie written on the map are transcribed in the transcript box.
 
Immense snow mountains NE and ENE as seen from the road above Snow Shoe: one group ENE 120 to 150 miles distant qur[?] Rocky Mountains?
I estimate Antler town at 3500ft above sea; and the trail to it 3000ft higher. There are some patches of snow on it all the year.
From Beaver Lake to beyond Keithley's is one continuous dense, grassless mountainous forest, about 5 or 6 days for loaded animals.
