additional information obtained from fur traders and Native Americans.

Charles Wilkes:
Map of the Oregon Territory.
Publication date: 1841.
In 1836, Congress approved the sum of $300,000 for
a purely scientific exploratory expedition.
The expedition, headed by Charles Wilkes,
left in 1838 and returned in 1842. The scientific
expedition visited at least cursorily
most every non-civilised coastal area in the world,
including the Pacific Northwest in 1841.
A large number of Puget Sound names which are still
in use today were provided by Wilkes' expedition, Commencement Bay (where he
started his charting of the sound) and Elliott Bay among them.

Warre:
Warre's Travels in North America, 1848.
Henry Warre was sent by the British
government to visit Northwest America
and make notes on the area from a military point
of view. At the time, America and
Britain were engaged in a very unfriendly
conflict as to the exact location of the
American-British border.
The routes of Warre's party are shown
on the map here, with the red his journey
out and the blue his return journey. They
spent six months in the Pacific Northwest
in 1845. Warre brought along his watercolors,
and has provided us with a number of
sketches of the area of his travels.
By the time Warre and party returned to
Montreal and had their reports forwarded
to England, the British government had
already decided to settle on the
49th parallel as the area's border.

Colton - Bonneville:
Map to Illustrate Capt Bonneville's Adventures among the Rocky Mountains.
Compiled by J.H. Colton, New York. Geo. P. Putnam, 1849.
Captain Benjamin Bonneville, on leave from the
U.S. Army, took a four year expedition, from 1832 to 1836,
into the American
west. They travelled parallel to the course
of the Snake and the Columbia, and
though they did reach Fort Walla Walla, they
never managed to reach as far as Fort Vancouver
or the Willamette Valley before turning
back into modern day Idaho. From
there, they turned south, and headed down into
California (then part of Mexico).
1849
Ross:
Map of the Columbia to illustrate Ross's Adventures,
by Alexander Ross, 1849, Published by Smith, Elder and Co. (London).
"The author of this map (and the book it comes in) was a trader in
the employ of John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company, and took part in
Astor's first expedition to the northwest to extablish the
profitability of the fur trade there.
The expedition departed by sea from New York
City in late 1810, and arrived at the mouth of the Columbia River
in March of 1811, where it built Fort Astoria.
Over the years he spent in the
the northwest, he travelled the length and breadth of the future
state of Washington (with the notable exception of the areas west of the
Cascade Mountains), and also assisted in the building of
Fort Okanogan and Fort Nez Perce. He remained in the
northwest until 1823, at
which point he travelled to what would later become Montana,
where he would remain until his death in 1856."

Disturnell:
Map of Oregon and Washington Territories, showing
the proposed Northern Railroad route to the
Pacific Ocean, 1855, by John Disturnell, New York.
The 1850s were marked by the push for a transcontinental
railway, and this map shows one of the
northernmost of the possible routes.
Surveys completed in 1855, apparently after this map
was constructed, pointed to a slightly more southerly
route for the eventual Northern
Pacific Railway. The route sketched here approximates
several eventual routes. The Montana and east portions
approximates that followed
by the Burlington Northern, while that in Washington,
Oregon, and Idaho follows the Northern Pacific's
eventual route in those states.

Union Pacific Railroad:
Tourist map of Union Pacific, the overland route and connecting lines,
1888, by the Union Pacific Railroad Company.
In 1888, the Union Pacific Railroad Company was
touting tourist points of interest on their
transcontinental railroad route. While the
boundaries and geography of the United States is
somewhat skewed, the map does include inset
pictures of scenic places found along the
track. The Transcontinental Railroad took four
years to complete (1865-1869). Stretching some
1,700 miles, the Central Pacific pushed
east from Sacramento as the Union Pacific left
Omaha, Nebraska and traveled through the Platte River Valley.
The two lines met at the
summit of Promontory Point near Ogden, Utah on
May 10, 1869 and helped unite the country both physically and mentally.
While Washington State is represented only minimally
on this rendering, the map in fact came from a
pamphlet selling points of interest for
Washington and Oregon. The "Columbia Tours" as they
were called included special promotional
rates for traveling north out of Portland to
four destinations, including Alaska, the Cascade Mountains,
and Crater Lake. The trip from Portland to Seattle took three hours.

this map could befrom the company's Century Atlas. Other known characteristics
common to the company is a "piano-key" border and that color was

This map comes from a tourism brochure promoting travel
within the state of Oregon. Its indicative of the change in focus on the part of the
railroads - with no further income coming in from land grants,
and the rush to homestead long since declined to a relative trickle, railroads
turned their focus to promoting train travel,
or tourism, as a greater source of income for themselves.
