The Cartography of the Northwest Coast of America to the Year 1800, Volume II

The Cartography of the Northwest Coast of America to the Year 1800, Volume II by Henry R. Wagner is an essential companion to Volume I, offering detailed resources for scholars of early cartography. This volume contains abbreviations, a comprehensive list of maps with an index, lists of both modern and obsolete place names, and a thorough bibliography. Wagner traces the evolution of place names from the period of Spanish and Russian exploration up to 1800, highlighting how many original names fell out of use and were replaced with modern equivalents following the American occupation of California. By bridging historical and contemporary nomenclature, this volume provides a valuable tool for understanding the geographical changes along the northwest coast. Ideal for researchers and cartographers, it enhances the study of early exploration and mapping of the Pacific Northwest.
