Description	1 blueprint map ; 74 x 75 cm. fold. to 17 x 10 cm. Original folding blueprint map. Color coding manuscripts additions indicate Weyerhauser and other timber interests. Fenner also located cities, railroads, the Quinault Indian Reservation and a large northern region of the county as mountainous and unsurveyed. Gray's Harbor is also shown. "Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1893 by C.H. Fenner in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington." WSU MASC copy inscribed on verso, "W Cooney = Complimentary =". An attempt was made in 1907 to subdivide Chehalis County into two counties: Chehalis and Grays Harbor. Though the state legislature approved this, it was overturned by the State Supreme Court on constitutional grounds. Chehalis County as a whole changed its name to Grays Harbor County in 1915, and this map accurately represent the county lines that are in effect today.
