The city of Butte began as
a mining town in the late 1870's, with the discovery of silver and
copper. During the late 1800's to the 1920's the town prospered,
supplying much of the copper for the United States. This beautiful map

All reproduction prints are printed as "museum quality",
using advanced ink formulas and durable museum quality paper. The
reproduction prints reflect the state of repair of the original conserved
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. |
