Published by Rand, McNally & Co. in Chicago for their Improved Indexed Business Atlas and Shippers Guide, it provides a detailed view of Oregon’s counties, towns, transportation routes, and natural geography just three decades after statehood in 1859. The map highlights the development of railroads, depicted in red and blue lines. Key routes include the Oregon & California Railroad running south from Portland through the Willamette Valley and the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company line following the Columbia River eastward toward the Idaho border. These routes connected Portland—the economic and shipping center of the state—to interior farming communities and to markets across the United States. See less
