Description
1 map: col., 36 x 28<br>From "The People's Atlas."<br>This map shows the defined borders of Oregon state and the Territory of Washington. Note the large county lines in the eastern half of both states. Note also that the boundary of the Washington Territory now resembles what will become the state's boundaries in 1889. This is due to the formation of a separate Idaho Territory in 1863. The People's Atlas might be connected somehow to Rand McNally and Co., which published the "New Family Atlas of the World" in 1888 under the imprint of the People's Publishing Company of Chicago.
