Title
Johnson's Washington and Oregon.
Description
English: A beautiful example of A. J. Johnson’s 1862 map of Washington and Oregon. This rare map offers a fascinating snapshot of this region shortly following the outbreak of the American Civil War. Shows the state of Oregon with much of its eastern regions unsurveyed. Washington is drawn as a massive territory extending eastward as far as the Rocky Mountains where it abuts with Nebraska Territory. Most of the western regions of Washington Territory, what today includes parts of Idaho and Montana, are unexplored and dominated by various American Indian nations including the Snakes, the Pa-nacks, the Nez Perce, and others. Notes Fremont’s 1843 route as well as the suggested route for the Pacific Railroad as proposed by Governor Stevens. Also notes geographical features including the Tetons, Mt. Rainer, Mt. Adams, Fremont’s Peak and the Three Buttes. Features the strapwork style border common to Johnson’s atlas work from 1860 to 1863. Published by A. J. Johnson and Ward as plate number 57 in the 1862 edition of Johnson’s New Illustrated Family Atlas .
