1865 Map of North Central Washington

The North Central Washington section of a 144 year old map

A few of the notable spelling differences on the map,
Pisquouse or Wenachee for the Wenatchee River
En-te-at-kwa for the Entiat River
Okinakane for the Okanogan River
Met-how for Methow
Tenasquet for Tonasket
Cadys Pass near where Stevens Pass is today

Looking for information about Cady's Pass I was only able to find one source, the September
14th, 1860 edition of the Olympia published Pioneer and Democrat newspaper, which reads,

“Cady's Pass. - Mr. Cady, of the Snoho-
mish river, left here on Thursday morning
last, destined for the country east of the
Cascade mountains, where he intends mak-
ing a thorough exploration. He will cross
the mountains by the Pass discovered by
him about 18 months since, and now known
by his name. He takes with him a small
party of men, all of whom, like himself, are
hardy, courageous, and enterprising. He
has provided himself with a number of sci-
entific instruments, and is determined to
fully satisfy every one that the low altitude
of the pass discovered by him has not been
misrepresented. If this can be proven, we
hesitate not to say that Cady's Pass will
prove a serious rival to the Snoqualmie
route in bidding for the travel to the mines.
We are indifferent as to which may even-
tually recommend itself, but trust every en-
couragement may be afforded to Mr. Cady,
in assisting him to bring his pass into pub-
lic notice. The more passes we have the
better. Packers can then choose and start
from whence they will. We have been
promised a reminiscence of Mr. C.'s travels
and explorations.”
