Map of Oregon and Washington, (1865)

Oregon--Maps<br>Washington (State)--Maps<br>Washington Territory<br>Colton, J.H.<br>Johnson, A.J.

1 map: col., 34 x 45 cm.<br>This map, published by A.J. Johnson and his partner, Ward, shows the State of Oregon (entered into the Union in 1859), and Washington Territory. By 1865 the eastern border of Washington Territory had been defined, with Idaho's western border set after its official territorial status came in 1863. While Johnson is well known for purchasing the steel plates and copyrights of renowned mapmaker, J.H.Colton, some sources place 1865 as the date when Johnson stopped using the Colton templates and had begun to create his own lithographs.
