Maps showing areas of interest give the metal detectorist a way in to search the hundreds of abandoned tailings, ore dumps, old mining camps and water-runs. Maps appear on practically every page of the book, "Gold Nugget-Teering In California".

Maps of old mines, rivers, old placer locations have sections, Tier, and Range listed for locating convenience. Old mining districts are named, and their locations cited with descriptive information about the area.
