Pair of interesting Colorado maps. First (9 x 12") was prepared by F.V. Hayden, W.H. Holmes & G.B. Chuttenden during the Geological Survey of the Territories. It shows the various rock formation in the vicinity of Colorado Springs, Colorado City and Manitou. Second (14.2 x 16") was prepared for the Twentieth Annual Report, Part V, Pl. XLVIII. It is a fascinating and beautiful map showing the distribution of commercial timber, "burned areas" brush land, and agricultural land in northwestern Colorado.
