The artwork in the opening and closing credits of Bonanza seem to be something of a mystery. Under the direction of the show's art director Earl Hedrick an unknown journeyman artist drew the sketches and watercolors for the series. After a few months into the show's first season in 1959, this artist left the studio for parts unknown. Later, efforts were made to find this artist and give him credit for his now famous work but to no avail. He was never found.
Stranger still, another journeyman artist was hired by the production company for other still works. He too moved on after a short while. When his work remained unnamed, efforts were made to find him also, again with no results. I find it strange that after the first unknown artist that someone didn't keep better records but 'that's showbiz'.
Robert Temple Ayres, the artist that made the map of the Ponderosa seen burning at opening credits may have supplied the artwork for the credits as well but I could find no info confirming this.
