The map shows the large property position of the New Almaden Quicksilver Mining Company with shaded relief, buildings and prospects all located clearly as are the mines. 28 x 40". E. Blueprint copy of an 1880 map, topographical map of the central part of the property of the Quicksilver mining company, new Almaden California, 1 inch equals 300 feet. Same size as the prior map. This map shows the detail of all the townsite and mine workings along with shaded relief. F blueprint copy of a map of the mine workings around several of the mines at new Almaden. The map curiously shows a number of key shafts and inclines however it does not assign a name to any of them other than quote engine shaft inclined shaft shoot flume and so on size is 33 x 51 and it's a blueprint copy of an early map my guess is it may even be pre-1880 because it does not label the shafts by name.
