Title: Map of the United States Territory of Oregon West of the Rocky Mountains. Exhibiting the various Trading Depots or Forts occupied by the British Hudson Bay Company, connected with the Western and northwestern Fur Trade
Author: Hood, Washington
Description: Engraved map. 44x52 cm. (17¼x20½"), folds as issued.Important map which accompanied the Report of Senator Linn to authorize the President to occupy the Oregon Territory. Compiled at the time that the contest for an Oregon under joint occupancy of Britain and the U.S. was beginning to heat up, the map was certainly as accurate as any of its contemporaries. Drawn from Bonneville and other sources, the map is rich in detail, naming many forts and outposts, showing the route of Lewis and Clark, giving Great Salt Lake alternate names of Youba and Lake Bonneville, etc. This copy is on thicker paper than most we have seen. Wheat Transmississippi 434.
