Asher & Adams, 1872, Oregon (Railways). Full hand color, each county in a different pastel shade. About 18 1/4 by 23 inches. A fascinating early look at a very underdeveloped Oregon and its early rail lines, with many of them named.! Shows good detail of settlements, towns, mountains, rivers and lakes. The map is over laid with survey "grids" to show early government surveys. Also shows counties colored in different shades of blue. A few spots that do not detract from this handsome map. Early large scale maps such as these are seldom seen. $135.
