Title
Territories of Washington and Oregon
Date Created
1853
Description
That portion of Wyoming that lies West of the Continental Divide and North of 42 degrees, was part of Oregon territory from 1848 to 1859. This 1853 map by J. H. Colton of New York incorrectly places the Tetons and contains many errors relating to watercourses. The text on the back of the map accepts Freemont's mistaken contention that the peak named after him was the highest in the Rocky Mountains.
