Early, important map showing the new border between Oregon and the newly established Washington Territory. This is one of the earliest available maps to show the latter territory.
Although this map is dated 1853, Washington Territory was not created by Congress until March of that year so this map is more likely to have been printed c.1854. The two territories together encompass a vast area of the Pacific Northwest that would later include parts of Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.
A fascinating snapshot of the early American West.
