    1. MAP -Fremont Trail & the Oregon Trail in Oregon
    2. OK... I'm still pulling maps I have -- out of storage!! Found this one showing a portion of Fremont's trail through Oregon, however, it mostly covers the territory of the Indian Reservation: eg. SW boundary at Mt. Jefferson (Linn/Marion Co. division) and little South of Deschutes River; The N boundary where Barlow Road intersects with Rock Creek and shows a little N of Wapinita. It is fully packed with information and graphics... The Legend shows: Route of Old Indian Trail Route of Peter Skene Ogden Route of Nathaniel J. Wyeth Route of John C. FREMONT Route of Pacific R.R. Survey Modern Highways Night Stops of Explorers, Oct. 12, 1492 Map is: HISTORICAL MAP WARM SPRINGS INDIAN RESERVATION; Warm Springs Oregon, J.W. Elliott, Supt., compiled by Ralph M. SHANE and Ruby D. LENO, drawn by Ralph M. Shane, Rev. ed. c. 1974, OHS (Oregon Historical Society) Map obviously covers territory you are very very familiar with!! Probably not what you are looking for, but I knew I had seem Fremont's Trail on some map I had around here.
