Original lithographed fold-out antique chart of the mouth of the Columbia River, printed more than 140 years ago.

• This map is based on a survey conducted under the direction of Major George L. Gillespie, U.S. Corps, of Engineers, in 1880.



• The image area measures 33 x 37.5 cn [13" x 14¾"], and details include soundings and the location of breakers.



• Among the specific named places and features are Clatsop Spit, Fort Stevens, Sand Island Beacons, Point Adams, Peacock Spit, McKinzie's Head, and the Cape Hancock Lighthouse, which later reverted to its earlier name, Cape Disappointment Lighthouse.



• This is an original, authentic antique map, not a reproduction or modern reprint, and it is fully guaranteed to be genuine. It was published in a report to Congress by the Board of Engineers for Fortifications and River and Harbor Improvements, February 12, 1881.



• Condition:  It is in very good condition, with no marks, rips, or tears. It folds to 9" x 6" and is blank on the back, with no printing on the reverse side. It is printed on a lightweight paper, which has stiffened and toned slightly with age. You will want to handle it with care, as you would any antique document. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.
