Note:
Highly detailed map showing a hurricane of claims with owner's names, all tumbled over each other in classic mining frenzy. Uncolored, with a catalog of Thayer's maps in the lower right corner of the map and the inside front cover; also on the inside front cover: "We cheerfully endorse 'Thayer's Map of the Leadville Mines' as the best published for completeness and accuracy" (followed by a long list of Mineral Surveyors). Map is folded into brown cloth covers 16x10.5 with "Thayer's Map Of The Leadville Mines. Price $1.50." stamped in gilt. Not in Streeter or Phillips. The scarcest of the Leadville claim maps.
