Blueprint map. 74.5x63 cm (29¼x24¾"). Rare map of Fidalgo Island, named after the Spanish explorer and cartographer Salvador Fidalgo who explored the area in 1790. Settlement peaked in the 1850s due to the Fraser River Gold Rush and in 1890 due to speculation that the area would become a terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Later the island became an important fishing and lumber center. No copies of this map are listed in OCLC/WorldCat.
