Date 1874 2000 - 2002
Publisher [S. N.] : S. Augustus Mitchell, 1874
Description 1 map: col., 38 x 30 cm. This map, used at least as early as 1866 by Mitchell, shows the territorial borders of Washington (1853), Idaho (1863) and Montana (1864). It also shows the boundaries of Oregon (granted Statehood in 1859). Of note are the border oddities: the State of Nevada is not recorded, and the San Juan Islands (whose ownership was resolved in 1872) are split between Great Britain and the United States.
