Map of Washington and Oregon , (1886)
Date.Original
1886
Description
1 map : col. , 36 x 28 . From "The People's Atlas. " This map shows the defined borders of Oregon state and the Territory of Washington . Note the large county lines in the eastern half of both states . Note also that the boundary of the Washington Territory now resembles what will become the state's boundaries in 1889 . This is due to the formation of a separate Idaho Territory in 1863 . The People's Atlas might be connected somehow to Rand McNally and Co. , which published the "New Family Atlas of the World " in 1888 under the imprint of the People's Publishing Company of Chicago .

Original maps were scanned in color at 600 dpi on a Microtek 9600XL scanner and saved as TIFF files. The TIFF files were converted into the MrSID format at a compression ratio of 12 to 1 using LizardTech's Geospatial Encoder 1.4 software. These MrSid files were then uploaded into the CONTENTdm database at the Washington State University Libraries.
