Mounted map measures 10.5 x 12 inches on 12 x 13-inch board. Previous folds laid down nicely. Map appears to have been framed as map is toned except for outer edges. Small foxing spot at bottom edge, far outside of neatline. Very Good Condition.
Very pleasing map circa 1895 of several prominent mining and milling companies near Breckenridge, Colorado. The Jessie Gold Mining & Milling Co. was one of the largest mining and milling operations in Summit County. The Jessie stamp mill was competed in 1894. Thos. F. Perry, Chicago, Illinois is credited as cartographer.
The Dania property, adjacent to the Jessie, was claimed and surveyed as of publication yet no mining or milling had taken place. An inset shows lode names and survey numbers for the Dania.
Claims on map also include the Florence Group and Ironside Group. Properties named and identified in color. A prominent Compass Rose bisects the map. We find no record of this pleasing Colorado mining map in OCLC or commerce as of May 2024.
