Interesting and unusual set of manuscript maps. The mines shown include the San Francisco de Paula and Las Amelias at Pesqueria, Sonora, Mexico which were owned and operated by G.V. Monteverde & Co. The maps show detail of the mines including depths, various locations and some of the equipment used in the process of mining gold and silver. Three of the five maps are on two unjoined sheets that range in size from 4 x 10" up to 22 x 18".
