Description
1 map col. ; 65 x 88 cm. <br>Scale [1:68,760]. 1 in. to 6 miles. Shows roads, rail roads in operation, projected rail roads, post offices, and saw mills. <br>The Yakima Indian reservation, at the lower left corner of this map, was created in 1855. <br>In 1883 the Northern Pacific would finish its transcontinental route, which would follow the Columbia upstream to its junction with the Snake and then travel north-east from there to Spokane. With the connection of this route as the primary connection to the east for the northwest, south-eastern Washington would began to undergo a minor boom due to the influx of settlers that would follow.
