1 map ; 21 x 33 cm. <br>Relief shown by hachures. Inset: Columbia River, reduced from a survey [scale ca. 1:2,000,000] made by the U.S. Ex. Ex., 1841. <br> From: Western America Charles Wilkes. 1849. <br> In lower right margin: Edwd. Yaeger Sc. <br>This map is a direct refinement of Charles Wilkes' 1841 Map of the Oregon Territory (visible at http://kaga.wsulibs.wsu.edu/zoom/zoom.php?map=wsu530 ). With a little patience you can begin to discover internal differences, mostly with respect to refinements and additions in the placement of mountain ranges. Terrain has been added to Vancouver Island, Mt. McLaughlin on the very southern edge of the map has been moved to a more correct location, and so forth.
