1 map: 40 x 54 cm.<br>Published by order of the Senate of the United States. Drawn by David H. Burr. <br>The names of the places on the borders of the Map show their respective Latitudes. <br>Inset: The North Pacific Ocean and the adjacent Coasts and Islands. <br>In 1840, the debate between the United States and Great Britain was still raging as to the eventual border between the two powers in the Pacific Northwest. At the request of the Secretary of State and the Chairman of the Committee on the Oregon Territory, Robert Greenhow, translator and librarian to the Department of State, put together a book on the geography, history, and politics of the northwest to aid in the resolution (or perhaps prosecution) of the issue. This map comes from that book, delivered to the Senate in January/February of 1840.
