This scarce, separately issued large-format map shows remarkable topographical detail of the state. The color scheme indicates elevation level, with the darkest shade indicating levels over 13,000 feet. In addition to the topography, the map locates post offices, land offices, roads, railroads and Indian reservations. At right are insets of the Canon City District, Leadville, Denver and Cripple Creek. The map was drawn by H.C. Woods and prepared by Russell George of the Colorado State Geological Survey, based largely on data from the U.S. Geological Survey. Drawn on a detailed scale of 8 miles per inch. Backed with old linen.
