MINING MAP of TOMBSTONE ARIZONA 1881 Poster

A detailed 1881 civil engineer's map of TOMBSTONE ARIZONA Mining. The central panel shows all the mines opened near town. Framed by Jack hammer steel, cables, and miner's tools. One panel shows COCHISE COUNTY Mining and 4 others plat mining claims in districts near Tombstone. The other exterior panels show the Tombstone Stock Exchange and various significant Mining Company facilities. At the bottom is a nice panoramic pictorial of Tombstone city as it was in 1881. A rare, one-of-a-kind map. All colours and tones optimized for optimal presentation. An ugly muddy colour cast removed. Tombstone was perhaps the most renowned of Arizona's old mining camps. In 1877, the first mining claim was named Tombstone, and rumours of rich strikes made a boom town of the settlement that adopted this name. Over the course of 7 years the mines produced millions of dollars in silver and gold before rising underground waters forced suspension of operations.
