The city of Helena was
founded in July of 1874, when gold was discovered near the Prickly Pear
Valley. In 1875, it became the capital of Montana Territory, and
retained the status when Montana became a state in 1889. This beautiful
map provides a look at the beginnings of the city. Complete reference

document. Stains and imperfections reflected in the original map
at the time it was collected for conservation are left un-retouched, as
they reflect the character and charm of the vintage original. Some major imperfections, such as dark fold lines have been removed when
possible. Maps are printed as ordered and are not returnable unless
received damaged. |
