Oregon Map - Vintage 1876 Department of Interior Historical Map
Discover the Pacific Northwest
Journey into the rich history of the Pacific Northwest with this meticulously restored 1876 Oregon Map by the Department of the Interior, General Land Office. This exceptional cartographic treasure captures Oregon during the height of westward expansion, showcasing the detailed county boundaries, mountain ranges, and thriving communities that defined this influential Pacific Coast state.
Created during the post-Civil War era of western settlement and railroad development, this map illustrates Oregon at a time when timber harvesting, agriculture, and coastal trade were flourishing throughout the region. The intricate detail shows every county, township, and geographic feature with the precision and artistry that made government survey maps the authoritative choice of their era.
From the rugged Cascade Mountains and coastal ranges to the fertile Willamette Valley and high desert regions, this map captures the essence of Oregon's diverse geography and pioneering heritage. The detailed topographical features show the natural barriers and pathways that shaped settlement patterns and economic development throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Each reproduction includes a custom historical letter detailing the map's significance, making it perfect for collectors, Oregon history enthusiasts, and anyone with Pacific Northwest connections. Printed on heavyweight archival paper or premium canvas, every mountain range, river system, and settlement is preserved with museum-quality clarity through expert digital restoration.
For protection and presentation, paper prints arrive rolled in sturdy mailing tubes, while canvas prints come gallery-wrapped on solid pine stretcher bars with pre-installed hanging hardware—ready to display immediately.
Bring home a piece of Pacific Northwest heritage and celebrate Oregon's rich history with this stunning cartographic centerpiece.
