Map of Oregon, Washington, and Part of Idaho.

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

Issued c.1860, Philadelphia by S. Augustus Mitchell.

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 early version shows a vast Idaho territory prior to Montana, the entire eastern half of Oregon is labelled as "Unexplored". Numerous county differences are seen compared to slightly later versions, this version not displaying emigrant wagon roads yet for instance.

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.

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

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