Description:
|
|
| This is one of the sheets from Vandermaelen's landmark work, the first atlas to map the world on the same scale. It shows a section centring on the Columbia River, thus showing both the coast of modern Oregon and Washington State. Detail is sparse although various Indian tribes are marked as well as the settlement of Fort Astoria on the mouth of the river. [USA8188] |
