**Originally Listed At $200**
Henry Darwin Rogers (American, 1808-1866) & Alexander Keith Johnston (Scottish, 1804-1871), "Territories of Washington and Oregon." London: publisher Edward Stanford (British, 1827-1904). 1857. Drawn and engraved by Johnston. Hand colored with full and outline color. Territories in outline color with proposed railways in purple and counties in orange. A very rare map depicting the Oregon and Washington Territory, from Rogers and Johnston's "Atlas of the United States. An essential map for Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana collectors. Size: 16" W x 13" H (40.6 cm x 33 cm); 18" W x 14.25" H (45.7 cm x 36.2 cm) including margins
The map shows both territories extending to the Rocky Mountains, with only a few counties East of the Cascades. In addition, several early routes, major mountain elevations, and numerous early forts are shown - i.e. Fort Hall, Cantonment Loring, Ft. Boise, Fort Wahlah Wahlah, Ft Colville, Ft. Okinakane, and more. Intriguing early nature sights such as Priest's Rapids, American Falls, Three Tetons, Thompson's Rapids, Ross Rapids, Mt. Ranier, Mt. Adams, The Dalles, Ft. Niqually, Cowling Landing, and many others are also notes. What's more, the map names quite a few passes and provides a superb topographical treatment of the region. Also, the mining regions - Indian Agency Mine and Independence Mine - are named In Jackson County Oregon.
The Atlas in which this map appeared represented a highly unusual collaboration between a Scotsman (Johnston), an American (Rogers), and an Englishman (Stanford). The maps were all on a scale of 54.5 miles to one inch, and were derived from the large "Map of The United States, British & Central America", by Rogers and Johnston, 1857. The western U.S. maps presented the routes of the proposed Pacific Railroad. Johnston skillfully drew and engraved the mapsMinor toning. A few minute tears/losses to edges as shown. Some acid-free tape affixed to verso. Inventory notes written in pencil on lower right.Condition
