1865 "Johnson's Washington, Oregon and Idaho" Map by Johnson and Ward

Presented is an original 1865 "Johnson's Washington, Oregon and Idaho” map. This map was issued as page 65 in the 1865 edition of “Johnson's New Illustrated (Steel Plate) Family Atlas.” The map is engraved, with attractive hand coloring and a decorative strapwork border. The state of Oregon and the Territory of Washington are colored by county. Colored with a light wash are Idaho and Dakota Territory.

Rivers and mountain ranges are all maped and labeled. There is a printer’s error on Washington, with “Wash-ington” spelled in full with a hyphen, printed well past Washington’s borders, and also an additional “ington” printed below the first“Wash-ington.”There is very little development in east Oregon. There is no differentiation or border between Idaho and Dakota Territory.  A marked "Northern Route of the Pacific Rai
