Black & white map overprinted in red to designate property of the Eureka Uncle Sam Consolidated Mining Co. Printed text on the back. 24x45.5 cm (9½x7¾"), folded.

Map showing the numerous mines in the Eureka mining district in central Nevada, as well as the town of Eureka, with the property of the  Eureka Uncle Sam Consolidated Mining Co. outlined in red. On the back is text descriptive of the district and of the aforementioned company. OCLC/WorldCat has one listing for the map, as a  "photograph reprod. Microfiche (negative)" giving the dimensions as 53x89 cm. The OCLC entry lists the publisher as Eureka Brokerage & Investment Co. On the back of the present example, at the bottom of the panel title, is printed "Compliments of", not filled out. Evidently this was a reduced version of the map used for promotional purposes or as a stock prospectus.
