Item description from seller

Excellent. Size 11.5 x 14 Inches. This is an 1862 Samuel Augustus Mitchell, Jr. map of the Pacific Northwest, including Washington, Oregon, and what, within a year, would become Idaho Territory. A Closer Look Coverage embraces from the Pacific Ocean to South Pass and from Canada to California and Utah - the Oregon Trail winds from South Pass northwest roughly along the Snake River to Walla Walla, Washington. Cities, towns, and other settlements are labeled throughout the region, including Olympia and Seattle, Washington, and Salem, Oregon. Counties are labeled and shaded, with the western third of Oregon labeled simply as 'unexplored'. The Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers are labeled, as are numerous smaller rivers. The Rocky Mountains cut diagonally through what would become Idaho Territory within a year. Plate no. 40. Publication History and Census This map was prepared by S. A. Mitchell Jr. for inclusion in the 1862 edition of Mitchell's New General Atlas . This plate remained in publication with amendments until 1867, after which point it was replaced by a new map. Like many American map publishers of this period, Mitchell did not regularly update his copyrights; consequently, this map is dated and copyrighted to 1860: 'Entered according to Act of Congress in the Year 1860 by S. Augustus Mitchell Jr. in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the U.S. for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.' The 1862 edition of Mitchell's New General Atlas is well represented in institutional collections. References: Rumsey 0565.026.…
