It provides a view of the geography, geology, climate, and agriculture etc. Extensive information on over 165 mining enterprises. Hardbound in maroon cloth, gilt titling on spine, 450 pp. with 11 additional pages of advertising at back. A scarce issue, as these books are rarely found with the map intact.

The folding map is near fine less a 3" tear from the binding trim that just touches the edge of Weld County. The book cover is a little rubbed with some chipping on spine. The contents are near fine less the first few pages with a tiny stain at upper corner with some paper loss, well away from printing.
