Where To Watch
Can you spot what’s wrong with the Ponderosa map from Bonanza?
It’s in every episode but how well do you really know this map?
Bonanza has one of the best Western openings. The theme music plays over a map of the Cartwright family's Ponderosa ranch. The map dramatically burns away, showing the cast galloping across the striking landscape.
How well do you know this iconic map of Bonanza?
Take a look at the parts of the map we've cut up below. One section has been changed from how it looks on the show. Can you guess which one it is?

......we won't discuss this one....lmao!
9th try. Pretty bad
wow i botched that really bad !!! I got it on my 9th try !!!!
Got it on my 2nd try, pretty good!
Easy to tell having once lived in the area! I always thought that the compass rose really stood out on this map, since it didn't have north pointing either "up" or exactly 90 degrees to the left. And, since the map doesn't show the California - Nevada state line either north or south of Lake Tahoe, one has to look at the compass to figure about where the state boundaries should be!
That was changed! You found it!
North actually points to the left on this map. Great job!

It was the top left on the map. I got it right on my 8th try.
Got it right on with my second choice. Not bad.
Got it on the first try. Buckaroo!!! Go north j
first guess... Maps are drawn with north to the top..
Actually, it supposed to point where the West mark is.
Clicked all 9, 1 at a time, and they were all unchanged. So, what changed?
Tried again, and got it. So why was it wrong the 1st time.
Oh my gosh! I have no ieea!
Fifth attempt.
I got it on the first try. Not my usual clumsy guessing. It's just that everything looked legit so I figured that they changed the orientation marker. Some reasoning involved, I suppose, but really just luck.
That's not luck, that's using your noodle. I'll have Opie leave you a can of tuna out on
the Taylor's front porch. Maybe a catnip toy as well.

2nd guess
Got it first try, I have a copy of the map in my room.
Pretty easy, only because as a kid I always wondered why 'N' wasn't pointed straight up.
Easy for me because I know the area around Virginia City. The cities of Carson City, Virginia City, and Reno and Lake Tahoe are not in the right places if you look at the map straight on. You have to tilt your head to the left to get the correct placement. Virginia City isn't as flat as it is shown on Bonanza.
Got it on second try.
GOT IT RIGHT!
