Superb map of this Nevada mining district from a promotional pamphlet titled "Statement and Reports Concerning the Uncle Sam Senior and Gold Cañon Silver Lodes, in Nevada" by Dr. John A. Veatch and S.A. Chapin. The map, lithographed by Oakley & Thompson, vividly represents the veins, outcroppings, mines, shafts, mills and Wells Fargo office of this area of the Comstock. Printed on thin paper.
