Description
1 map; 27 x 130 cm. <br>Scale: 1 inch = 4 miles.<br>This map comes from an 1882 Army expedition to locate a path across the Cascades from Ft. Colville to the Pacific via Lake Chelan. Lt. Pierce's report concluded the route to be impractical at best, and thoughts of a military road across the north Cascades were abandoned.
