Located in now defunct Garfield County, Eminence was flourishing on the plain when a fight for the new county’s seat destroyed not only both towns, but also the county itself. This study uses plat maps, newspaper articles, historic photographs, site studies, and an interview with a former owner of the town site.This Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
