Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Hayes, a resident of Vancouver, BC, and a map researcher and collector for over 25 years, has produced a unique cartographic documentation of the history of the Pacific Northwest. He has assembled 325 contemporary color maps, ranging in date from 1569 (a Mercator map) to 1919 (a Poole Brothers map) that together trace the discovery, exploration, settlement, and geopolitical evolution of the region now encompassing Alaska, British Columbia, Oregon, Washington, and the Yukon Territory. The accompanying text discusses colonial rivalries among the Spanish, British, Russians, and Americans; and highlights specific explorers who influenced the course of events. A complete catalog of the maps, with sources, is provided. This fascinating study is highly recommended as a reference tool for all libraries with cartography collections, particularly those with a special interest in the history and heritage of the region.AEdward K.

lots of original maps

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2009

Verified Purchase

Starting with pre-exploration theoretical maps through the Canadian Northern Railway's 1914 route map, this book gives a sampling of major mapping efforts in the Pacific Northwest (Alaska to Oregon). Maps of course reflect their makers, and this book reflects the range of interests over four centuries of Pacific Northwest explorations, in the two major waves of European marine explorers and settlers. The maps are reprints of originals, not made-for-the-book digests that I find so annoying. Each of the 320 maps is accompanied with a brief description of the map's provenance and the circumstances that make it important today. The book's format is large enough to peruse fine details, and there are some delightful accompanying illustrations in this beautiful book.

Nice but not quite what I was hoping for

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

The book was not quite what I expected. I was thinking it was more of a smaller paperback reader. But it's a very large hardcover like a history book kind of. The map images and drawings are cool.

many old maps

Not quite what i was hoping for, but many many old maps and it shows a timeline of how the borders of different countries changed and that is pretty interesting. Recommended for history buffs and anthropology types.

A sense of place

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2002

The "Historical Atlas of the Pacific Northwest . . ." is an excellent read for anyone living in the Pacific Northwest from Coos Bay/North Bend to Nome, even if you aren't into maps. As someone who relocated here from the Midwest five years ago, this book has helped put the webbing between my toes.
The map research is impressive. Derek Hayes has reproduced maps in this book that I never would have known existed. The narative history is good reading as well (I detect the influence of Ken Burns here). The book has greatly increase my knowlege of the place I have chosen to live, both in terms of its history and the physical landscape.
I also recommend it to any history or geography buff, even if you mispronounce Oregon "Or E Gone!"
