    This map is based on the chart made in 1826 during expedition of English Captain Frederick William Beechey (1798-1856) to the Pacific, which was published in 1833 by the British Hydrographical Office (Chart No. 591, 1833; Harlow 20, 21). The chart was improved by French naturalist, botanist, diplomat and explorer Count Eugene Duflot de Mofras (1810-1884) during his explorations of California in the second half of 1841 and the map was published in 1844 by Arthus Bertrand in Paris (Carte De La Cote De L'Amerique). The distance between the endpoints of the shore line of the Russian Colony i.e. from Barra de Arena (known today as Point Arena) to Port Russe de la Bodega (or Porte Count Rumyantsev known today as Bodega Bay) was 90 km. The area of Russian Collony was approximately a square of 90 km x 90 km (8,100 km²). The idea of this short study was prompted by Mr. John Middleton of Jenner. “The Russians founded their settlements of Bodega in 1812, with the consent of the Spanish authorities, and since Mexico's independence [1821– MDG], sovereignty over this point has never been disputed, the Russian flag is always flown…” Eugene Duflot de Mofras
