Call NumberCG4311 .P3 1960 .T6Alternate TitleTopographical map of part of Clear Creek, Summit, and Park counties, ColoradoDate1960-1969SummaryManuscript map using a combination of traditional and new techniques for the time period it was created. Drafting linen was falling out of favor by the 1950s, and Letraset and other press-on type was in its infancy, only being invented in the late 1950s. This map combines newer lettering, including felt-tip pens for hachures, railroads and wagon roads, and town grid representation, with the traditional platform of linen. In this instance, the cartographer drew on the rougher side of the sheet.Scale1:63,360Type of MapThematic mapsPhysical Description1 manuscript map : hand-colored on linen ; 79 x 66 cm (31 x 26 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectRailroads--Colorado--MapsRoads--Colorado--MapsClear Creek County (Colo.)--MapsSummit County (Colo.)--MapsPark County (Colo.)--MapsGeographic AreaClear Creek County (Colo.)Summit County (Colo.)Park County (Colo.)CollectionMapsType of MaterialMapsDigital Version Created FromOriginal manuscript map held by Denver Public LibraryNotesLibrary manuscript contains some water damage along bottom one inch of sheet.
