The accompanying notes state, "This is the most trying section for the traveller on the whole route. Water, though good and plenty, is difficult to reach, as the river is hemmed in by high and vertical rocks and many of the bystreams are without water in the dry season. Grass is only to be found at the marked camping places, and barely sufficient to keep strong animals from starvation. Game there is none. The road is very rough by volcanic rocks, detrimental to wagons and carts. In sage bushes consists the only Fuel. Lucky, that by all these hardships the traveller is not harassed by the Indians, who are peacable & harmless."

First maps to show the Oregon Trail accurately with great detail. Used by many of the overland trail parties. 1st issue, second state. The second state is indicated because there are changes in the text setting on sheet 7 that are the same as the later issue of 1849. Maps are without color and bound together on the right margin with a strip of light blue paper.
