c1883 Lot of 3: 2 are mining map of the Boise and southwestern Caldwell mining districts. The Boise map appears to be hand-drawn and colorized, quite unique. The Caldwell area map is dated 1883, and has printed paragraphs at the top describing the area`s rich resources. The map is black on beige, and looks to be a litho, although no printer is indicated. Both maps have age wear, and fold creases. The Caldwell piece does have small tears at some of the folds. The final item is a letter sheet, complete with a map of the state of Oregon and the Idaho Territory areas around the town of Weiser located on the river of the same name. The printed matter around the map extols the area`s vast riches and resources, from mining to grazing to timber. It speaks about the perfect climate, and how the area is the "Promised Land" for the homeseeker. - HKA#65335
