First map representation ever of the Columbia River: Maris Pacifici 1589

Current draft: The Maris Pacifici published in 1589 map features on the west coast of North-America an intriguing resemblance of two major coastline features: the mouth of the Columbia River identified as "Rio Grande" and the delta of the Fraser River labeled "Baia de las isleas". These rivers may have been too sighted by European visitors long before official records would confirm nearly 200 years later. In spite of limited evidence of Francis Drake expedition whereabouts in the Pacific Northwest, Pacific Northwest BC history commentator Sam Bawlf posited that the Ortelius mapped coastal features were a proof that Drake sighted the mouth of the Columbia and the Fraser River delta.Samuel Bawlf, The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake 1577-1580, Douglas & McIntyre, 2003, pages 303 and 316

Please comment if this is a useful and suitable addition to the article history section. Similar revision efforts are underway for the Fraser River and for the Pacific Northwest history section articles. LeCanardQuoi (talk) 05:01, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
