Additional Details

First edition, replacing Nell's earlier map of Colorado titled "Nell's Topographical & Township Map of Colorado" published by Chain & Hardy in Denver. The earlier map was on a slightly smaller scale of 10-1/2 miles per inch, the one here is on a scale of 10 miles per inch. Rumsey lists only an 1889 edition of this map published in Denver by E. Besley but claims it is on the smaller scale of 10-1/2 miles per inch, like the one published before 1887. Not in Rumsey.
