Unframed Poster on Matte Paper

Copyright 1969 by Cooper Graphics

Art by Andy Dagosta, cartographer (1923-2009)

Depicts the entirety of the state, extending to each of its state borders: Oregon, Idaho California, and Arizona. Cities and towns are marked, some of which are still active, including a few mining towns that are still inhabited, such as Eureka, Austin, and Tonopah. Ghost towns are labeled by a skull icon are much more prevalent, most of which include the year when it was inhabited and what was mined there. Some give the amount of money that was extracted from the ground. Reno, Carson City, and Las Vegas are also marked. Mines throughout the state are identified by a crossed shovel and pick axe, and old military forts are marked by bugles. Both the California Trail and the Pony Express Route are illustrated. Map depicts vignettes of prospectors , surrounded by a pictorial border featuring illustrations of the Pony Express rider, Native American and prospector in combat.

Dagosta created several pictorial maps of the old west that were very uncommon. We believe this to be the first example to be on the market.
