    Charles Preuss was Fremont’s topographer on his first two expeditions. He remained in Washington while Fremont was on the third expedition and compiled a seven section map of the Oregon Trail. This is section V of that map covering the route from the point it crosses the Green River until it reaches Fort Hall. It is a very detailed map giving the route, the topography on each side, distances, sources of water and fuel and similar detail useful to the traveler. There are extensive printed notes on the map giving even more information for the traveler.

    Condition is very good. Image size is approximately 15 x 24 (inches),
