I bet that Atlas wouldn't be handy for a long while still.
While ideally I'd hit Cali and beat the rush by about 50 years, I suspect it's more likely I'd die of exposure, malnutrition, or dysentery on the way. Very well armed, but dead nonetheless |

Sell horses and wagons and book passage for self and cargo on a riverboat to New Orleans.
Once there, use what confusion may have arisen regarding the transfer of NO from Spain to France to acquire properties, businesses, or ships. Make bank when US acquires Louisiana a few years later. Use funds to build/acquire pirate fleet to raid British assets in Caribbean. |

Thomas Jefferson is elected president in 1800. I am headed East to Washington and we are going to talk steam engines, armored steam powered vessels, modern medical techniques adaptive to 1800 tech, using the map to show the real size of the continent, and demonstrate the concepts of the enclosed cartridge, primer and smokeless powder, but moving forward on percussion caps for revolving cylinder pistols, rifles, and breech loading cannon, while trying to advance engineering in metallurgy to advance the firearms industry. I will also try to move the medical sciences about 100 years overnight. I will be VERY busy just speaking to scribes while they write down the little I know about chemistry, engineering, medicine, applied sciences and the scientific method. Perhaps I will live long enough in those primitive times to see fruits of my labors. We'll also talk the Barbary Coast, the need to never compromise with Moorish nations and why he should look for oil now.

Colorado is beautiful, but winters could wipe you out.
California has the better climate, but I'm pretty partial to Texas and know its topography pretty well so that'd probably be my choice. Also, I'd be there to hang out with Sam Houston, and kick Santa Annas ass. Maybe we could hold off annexation by the US in 1846, or help prevent the Civil War. |

Go look up the most ''mechanical'' and rich gun manufacturers I can find and sell them the right to inspect and copy my firearms and I damn well want WAY more ammo then you have listed. Then, after that is done, I'm going to get a hell of a grubstake together and go to California, and knowing where the biggest mines were, mine gold and buy every bit of decent land for my progeny I can find along the coast to be held in perpetuity.

Go to a nice wholesome town called St Robert MO and open a gentleman's emporium. But instead of Big Louie's, it will be Big Kharn's. And the road signs will be epic all the way from St Louis.
Also I'll sell fashionable glasses, buy-here-pay-here used wagons, booze, tattoos, laundry, and army surplus. And a restaurant that serves food from that convict colony. Kharn |

Gold rush was in 1848, with that firepower I’d recruit a couple of decent reliable guys , more wagons, etc, maybe a dozen more, for security from Indians and bandits, and other jobs, prob easy to recruit them with stories of easy gold .
we would head to California to get in early on the gold rush. Supposedly, early on, you could just walk around picking gold up off the ground, no mining, or panning needed.  might take a while to get there, and then find it, but with a topo map atlas and the general location I think I could find it eventually.I’d make huge cashes of hidden gold, and haul home enough to become rich, then return with more workers and haul home a wagon train of gold, become super wealthy. |
