"[Map with Book] Map of Colorado Springs and Vicinity [with] Colorado Springs, Colorado and Its Famous Scenic Environs",

Printed in red ink, this map of Colorado Springs locates "main drives," secondary roads, and trails in black ink. The legend further identifies street car lines, streams, houses (including the printer's!), and even fences and gates. A number of railroads are identified on the map including the Denver & Rio Grande, Santa Fe and Rock Island. The map extends west to Manitou and the "Cog Road to Pike's Peak."

The map is accompanied by the volume it was laid into by George Buckman, Secretary of the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce. Includes numerous in-text illustrations and a few single-page plates on sturdy paper. 72 pages. Oblong quarto, original wrappers pasted on boards.
