Description: This beautiful and originally hand colored map of State of Oregon [plate 103–104, with many counties east of Cascades not formed yet] was from Asher & Adams’ New Statistical and Topographical Atlas of the United States with maps showing dominion of Canada, Europe and the World published by Asher and Adams in 1872 with a copyright entry date of 1872 on the map as well. Based in New York, Asher & Adams was a very reputable publisher [of map and other subjects] in middle and later 19th century. Maps from this current atlas were very unique in style of presentation in the history of cartography. Focused on the routes of transportation, its depiction of railroad lines was the most striking feature (e.g., showing many stations with mileage in between). Together with its distinctive style of hand coloring, the map highlighted the prominence of Railways [in particular], Navigable Rivers, Junction towns, and County seats and vividly showed the contemporary interests, and state of commercial development of the 19th century America. Please note the very low starting price (retailing over $150 for the same map of lesser quality) with no reserve for this nice and highly displayable item. Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!
