Territorial boundaries and surveys shape Oregon Territory
The text outlines weather and steamship concerns, then details Washington Territory’s formation from Oregon, its northern boundary along the Columbia River, and the parallels toward the Rockies. Reports on surveys by the Coast Survey and Capt Wilkes frame coastal channels, harbors, and navigable routes, while noting political debates and a local indignation meeting over mayoral conduct and a rumored homicide.
