Montana territory Pacific Northwest Washington Oregon Idaho 1864 Mitchell map

Map of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Part of Montana.

(Old Maps, 19th Century Maps, Americana, United States, Pacific Northwest, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Seattle, Portland, Boise).

Issued c.1840, Philadelphia by S. Augustus Mitchell. (printed date is 1860, but this is clearly too early).

There are many variant issues of this map, with differing borders and interior details. A comparison with other Mitchell maps of the 1860's-80's era will reveal this on close inspection.

This version includes the newly formed Montana (but without any counties) and a huge Idaho. Gold mines are noted, as are emigrant wagon trails. The county configuration within Oregon also shows newly formed eastern counties of Grant, Union, Umatilla and Baker as well as many other county differences from just a few years prior.

Mid 19th century antique engraved map with original hand color. Decorative border greatly enhances visual appeal.

Well preserved, nice looking example with pleasing age patina, minor light scattered age spotting.

Sheet Measures c. 12 1/2" H x 15" W.

Engraved Area Measures c. 10 1/2" H x 14" W.
