The OHS Maps Collection contains over 30,000 maps, focusing on Western Exploration, the Oregon Territory, and the Pacific Northwest Region. These maps show the growth of knowledge about Oregon, its topography and social development. Available types of maps include those of the Territory, the State, its cities and counties, and cover special subjects such as mining, forestry, railroads, coasts and rivers, soils, farmlands, land claims, Indians, and explorations. Cataloging of the collection has just begun.
Access is limited.
