More Information

One of the U.S. Coast Survey's most attractive productions, this is a rare hand colored 1855 chart of the coastline of the Pacific Northwest, including the modern day states of Washington and Oregon. The map extends from the Oregon-California border northward to Vancouver Island and the Straits of Juan de Fuca. Features eight coastal views, from bottom: "Cape Perpetua N. by w. ½ W", "Cape Lookout N. by W.", Tillamook Head N. by W. ½ W.", "Sail Rock", "Destruction Island N. W.", "Flattery Rocks N.W. by N.", "Tatoosh I. North", and "Entrance to Columbia River, Cape Disappointment E. by N." Features depth soundings all along the coast with various points, harbors, and lookouts well noted. Of particular interest is the detailed rendering of the Puget Sound, where Steilacoom, Olympia, and Seattle are all identified. The upper left quadrant features tidal notations and sailing instructions. The hydrography of this region was accomplished by James Alden. The geography is the work of G. Davidson. Published under the supervision of A. D. Bache for the 1855 Report of the Superintendant of the U.S. Coast Survey.

What our customers are saying

★★★★★

I purchased an historic map, 16x24 inch. It is beautifully printed on heavy stock. The lettering, colors, and details of the map are crisp and easy to read. I am highly satisfied and would certainly purchase from Historic Pictoric again!

Ordered the Pan American Midway print to fit a lovely thrift-store gilded frame. I love showing off Buffalo's rich history and this is a pretty entertaining photo from 1901. Prompt shipping. Sturdy packaging.

I received my print within days of ordering, and it arrived well packed in a mailing tube. The print is high quality and exactly as advertised. I will use Historic Pictoric again in the future!

Excellent product. Great fidelity in reproduction of the original. Fine/minute details were sharp, colors were vibrant, and thickness, texture and overall feel and quality of the paper were excellent. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I have purchased six maps from Historic Pictoric. I find the quality to be excellent. Their customers service is also excellent. Outstanding! I called to exchange a few for different sizes and I could not have asked for a better experience.

★★★★★

The original map I ordered lacked some of the detail that I had hoped for, but they responded with several more map possibilities to choose from. Excellent service- a far step beyond what anyone expects from online purchases.

I am a owner of 5 maps from Historic Pictoric. From Okinawa, 1945, Europe 1940-1945 battle maps. Now they’re helping me with the battle of Gettysburg. These maps are so much superior to the map on a page in a book. I have framed two of them.
