Rare map of the claims in what is now a Nevada ghost town. Dead center is the townsite. No date. Pen notations on reverse mention "O.S. Dawson, 9th floor Mills Building, Room 10." Dawson's name appears on many certificates for the Ramsey Mining Company. Printed on blue paper with white text. 26" x 37.75." Ramsey didn't really take off until 1904, when Tom Ramsey found high grade ore. The population rose to 1,000, but by 1910, it had dropped to 100. Folds with some separation, tears along edges, and soiling. (Prag Collection) City: Ramsey State: Nevada Date: hwac# 30906
