"[Lot of 2] Map of a Part of the Territory of Washington [with] Map of Oregon Territory West of the Cascade Mountain", General Land Office

Fine pair of maps by the Surveyor General that detail the Northwest coastal region. The first (19.2 x 14.5") is by James Tilton from the Olympia office. This is an early and very historical map showing limited survey progress just 28 months after the territory was created. Modest detail west of the Cascades, but only major rivers shown to the east. Locates several forts (Steilacom, Nisqually, Walla Walla, & Townsend) and Seattle is labeled Statle. An infrequently offered Washington map on a scale of 1"=18 miles. The second (10.5 x 18") is by C.K. Gardiner from the Salem office. This map also shows the progress of surveys.
