About This Item
RICO MINING DISTRICT MAP, dated August 7, 1909.
Dimensions: 70 inches by 53 inches (this map is big, really big, and detailed)
Scale: 1 inch = 300 feet
Civil Engineer, draughtsman: Foster S. Naething
Map is highly detailed with all mining claims and survey numbers. Rio Grande Southern railway line explicitly drawn.
Town of Rico, Colorado plat explicitly drawn
Condition: very good to very good plus. I acquired it folded and it is now rolled. I have applied neutral pH, acid-free museum tape to creases and several tears on back of map to conserve it. This is the appropriate conservation work when stabilizing paper. Map is a blueline.
If been searching university and public libraries, as well as known private collections, and, to-date, have not located any Rico Mining Districts of this size or by this draughtsman. In fact, I've not located any privately published Rico Mining District maps. So this is a real scarcity. And the detail is superb.
Price: $4,000.00, plus $95.00 mailing and insurance costs.
