Misfold at top left corner. Overall, a very nice example.
Considerable geographic detail is presented in this map, with many lakes, rivers, mountains and towns identified. An area east of present-day Tacoma is labeled "Claimed by the Puget Sound Agricultural Company." Seattle appears as the terminus of "Stevens Route Pacific Railroad." Relief shown by hachures. Among the features keyed in the legend are Indian reservations, saw mills and flouring mills. A nice early mapping of western Washington. [Item No. 2171.] $125.00.
