Antique Ouray, Colorado 1904 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Uncompahgre National Forest, Gunnison, Hinsdale County, Chimney Peak
Beautiful, antique map of Ouray, Colorado and surrounding Ouray, Gunnison and Hinsdale County area, including Uncompahgre National Forest. This is an authentic 1904 edition, 1907 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reprint. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio.
See what Colorado looked like 120 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! This is one of the rare maps where the topographic symbols and map guide are on the front.
Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
Edition of 1904, printed 1907
Dimensions: 18 1/2" width x 22" height
