About this piece

Oregon on a color-printed map titled "Oregon", from the Ninth Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, published in 1884. The sheet is engraved and printed in color and also covers Washington Territory and part of Idaho, with the counties tinted in soft yellow, pink and green.

The Pacific coast runs down the left side of the sheet, with Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca at the upper left, the Columbia River running along the northern border of Oregon and the Willamette valley to the south. British Columbia lies along the top, California and Nevada along the foot and Idaho at the right. The settled counties of the Willamette valley are small and closely lettered, while the large counties of eastern Oregon and the Washington Territory interior are drawn with few features. Railroads, towns and county seats are engraved throughout, and the volume and plate numbers appear at the top.

The sheet shows the Pacific Northwest before Washington's admission as a state in 1889, with the Northern Pacific line newly across the territory.
