An uncommon, large map of the state with early county development. Several railroads are shown including a branch of the Denver & Rio Grande, which extends from Silverton to the mining town of Howardsville (a line that was proposed but never actually built). Locates many towns and mines and provides an excellent view of the topography. On verso is fascinating information on "Government Lands" concerning homestead laws and prices and a list of towns, streams and populations of cities in 1880.
