c1841 This is a 38" x 24" black and white "Map/ Of The/ Oregon Territory/ By The/ U.S. E.X. E.X./ Charles Wilkes Esqr./ Commander/ 1841". The printer`s mark on the lower right corner of the map is mostly illegible, but seems to indicate the map was printed in New Mexico. The map features technical and topographical features from US. Ex. Ex. Surveys, including an expanded view of the Columbia River, as well as more whimsical features such as a "Shoshones or Snakes" inscription near the center of the map. The map is in good condition, with wrinkling at the corners of overlapping folds and light foxing throughout. Own a wonderful piece of early Oregonian history today! - HKA#65782
