Washington Territory Map 1879. Original title: "Washington Territory." Shows Indian Reservations and railroads. This is an enhanced, restored reproduction of an old map dated 1879. Shows the counties of the Washington Territory, and the Quinault, Yakima, and Colville Indian Reservations. A note on one reservation states: "Reserved for Chief Moses and his people, and such other friendly Indians as may elect to settle here with the Consent of Chief Moses and the Secretary of the Interior. Executive Order April 19 1879."


I have selected interesting, old 19th and early 20th century graphic images for digital restoration and editing. The images were then adjusted and brightened to make the images suitable for display and other purposes. The resulting image brings out many details and landmarks, making this map a great historical reference and conversation piece. © 2021 for this restored reproduction.
