Description

View of Leadville, Lake County, C.O., 1879 / drawn & published by Augustus Koch.

This bird’s-eye view print of Leadville, Colorado was drawn by Augustus Koch and published by Ramsey, Millet & Hudson Litho. in 1879. Leadville was founded in the 1870's in the upper Arkansas River Valley when silver-lead deposits were discovered at that location. The town, sitting 10,152 feet above sea level, gained notoriety with the discovery of the valuable ore, and soon filled with miners and speculators.

One prosperous mine owner of the era was H. A. W. Tabor, a store owner who established one mine at Leadville, then selling it and purchasing the very profitable “Matchless Mine”. Tabor earned much respect in Leadville, with his civic improvements and the building of the popular Tabor Opera House. Mr. Tabor was elected mayor of Leadville in 1878 and later served as Lieutenant Governor of Colorado.

The illustration shows timber and mining interests, buildings and labeled roads.
