28 x 20" Map of the State of Nevada to accompany the annual report of the Commr.genl. Land office. 1866. This is an exceptionally rare and important map rarely seen by advanced collectors and researchers. the major mineral districts known at the time are outlined and highlighted in red color with the specific ore deposits in blue; green representing copper, and gold representing gold. The lone gold region shown interestingly is just east of the rubies in an area today of 2 open pit mines. It is a remarkable and showy map. Nevada Franklin Collection
