This beautiful and authoritative volume offers a detailed look at the history, geography, and people of Oregon.
Stunning full-color maps are complemented by informative text exploring everything from the earliest settlers to
the growth of Oregon vineyards to Portland's traffic jams.
The
Atlas maps a world of information, from native cultures, exploration, politics, religion, and economic growth
to landforms, volcanoes, lakes, place names, vegetation, and wildlife habitat. Created by an award-winning team of
geographers and cartographers, it is both a work of art and a fascinating reference.
Featuring:
- More than 700 maps, accompanied by hundreds of charts and diagrams;
- Comprehensive reference maps detailing every square mile of the state;
- Information compiled by more than 100 of Oregon's leading economic, scientific, and political experts;
- Digital cartography by the University of Oregon's Department of Geography and Allan Cartography, makers of what the Wall Street Journal calls "the world's most beautiful maps."
Intended for both leisurely browsing and serious research, the
Atlas offers a definitive single-volume source of
information about the state for students, teachers, business professionals, and everyone who loves Oregon.
"There's no better snapshot of Oregon, and none more beautiful. . . . So much information, so intelligently presente- the labor, and the love, is obvious on every page."
--The Oregonian
