Note
A flamboyantly colored broadside promoting lands for sale along the projected Chicago & North-Western Railway line to Deadwood, Dakota. The date is estimated from the shown railway development, although the figures "D.78" appear on the left bottom, and that usually would indicate an 1878 date; however, none of the 1878 maps show the line developed as far as it is on the map. But 1878 may be the correct date, with the map showing the lines under construction - this would tie the broadside closer to the Black Hills gold rush of 1877 and explain the prominently shown Black Hills and the town of Deadwood on the map.
