A terrific map of the Pacific Northwest that shows Washington Territory in it's most unusual configuration as it wraps around Oregon. Utah's northern border encompasses all of present-day Idaho and parts of Montana and Wyoming. The organized counties of both Oregon and Washington are confined west of the mountain ranges except for Skamania and Walla Walla counties. Decorative border.
