The Most Famous Road Ever Constructed in the High Northwest - WheatA classic work for the Pacific Northwest, Montana and Idaho, concerning the construction of a road to Montana from Washington Territory. The work contains four important maps and a series of 10 beautiful color plates depicting views along the route after original drawings by Gustav Sohon.This is a first class report to read and the maps are most helpful in tracing journeys of others. The colored plates add to the interest - Streeter.Captain John Mullan parlayed the topographical expertise he gained while assisting Isaac I. Stevens on the first transcontinental North Pacific Railroad survey (1853-55) into a monumental, years-long endeavor to carve the first engineered overland route across the northern Rockies - the 624-mile military road linking Fort Walla Walla (Washington Territory) with Fort Benton on the Missouri. Working intermittently from 1859 to 1862 amid tribal diplomacy, brutal winters, floods, and a chronically thin budget, Mullan drove axemen, graders, and bridge builders through the Bitterroot and Coeur d Alene ranges to create a wagon corridor that accelerated migration and military logistics in what would become Washington, Idaho, and Montana. His excellent Report on the Construction of a Military Road from Fort Walla Walla to Fort Benton (Washington, 1863) distills the enterprise with a highly readable text coupled with handsome color lithograph plates of regional scenery along the Missouri River, Coeur d'Alene Mission in the Rocky Mountains, various encampments, and natural beauty of the region. Carl I. Wheat devotes 10 pages to his discussion the Mullan Report, going into some detail about the four maps. The group of maps consists of three sectional maps and a general map that shows all of Mullan's military roadbuilding:Map of the Military Reconnaissance from Fort Dalles, Oregon via Fort Wallah-Wallah, to Fort Taylor, Washington Territory . by Lieut. John Mullan, assisted by Theodore Kolecki and Gustavus SohonMap of a Military Reconnaissance from Fort Taylor to the Coeur d'Alene Mission, Washington TerritoryMap of the Mountain Section of the Ft. Walla Walla & Ft. Benton Military Wagon Road from Coeur d'Alene Lake to the Dearborn River Washington Territory.Wheat calls this map "a technical tour de force. for all of the maps reviewed in these five volumes, here we first encounter a general map using the contour method. never in the West, so far as we have noted, had an engineer shown the hardihood to adopt the contour internal here employed. Doubtless we owe the innovation to Theodore Kolecki, by whom the map was 'surveyed & drawn.'. All honor to this cartographical pioneer."Map of the Military Road From Fort Walla Walla on the Columbia to Port Benton on the Missouri . prepared by E.
