A color lithograph of the mouth of a river in Oregon, identified as Fall River and dated to about 1855, this print shows a spot tied to a numbered campsite, "Camp 20," which suggests a traveling survey party logging its stops. The catalog's subject tracings, "Exploration and Surveys" and "Geography--Oregon," point to the federal expeditions of the 1850s that mapped western routes for possible railroads and military roads. Such views were often engraved or lithographed to accompany official survey reports, giving Eastern readers their first images of unfamiliar country. The caption data is unverified, so the exact expedition and artist remain uncertain.
