    A map published right after the devastating fire that consumed over 2,000 acres of the heart of the city’s center. Shows a wealth of detail for the time including the grid of the town, and the situation of rail lines at the time. A green swath covers the footprint of the burned area.

    Condition is very good, with the typically very close margins. Image size is 15.5 inches x 10.25 inches with some outline color.
