Additional Information
Located in Central Washington some sixty miles southeast of Mount Rainier, Yakima was established in the fertile valley and remains a prominent agricultural producer of wine, apples, and hops, which attracted immigrants from across Western Europe and other parts of the United States as the country neared the turn of the century. Railway expansion during the latter portions of the twentieth century had increased access and allowed Yakima to enjoy a period of significant growth and development. The Yakima Valley is responsible for producing more than three-quarters of all hops grown in the United States annually, which are critical for breweries across the nation.
Mount Rainier is the highest point in the Cascade Mountain Range and is surrounded by valleys, home to old-growth forests and more than twenty-five glaciers. It remains one of the most iconic Mountain Ranges of the American Northwest. The range is home to Mount Saint Helens, which erupted in 1980, blanketing the region with ash, causing significant issues with visibility, and forcing many residents to flee the area. This bird's eye perspective illustrates the city in a period of significant prosperity, which the rest of the nation also enjoyed during the so-called Gilded Age.
Panoramic maps were used to entice residents and merchants alike and featured prominent civic features, economic opportunities, and natural attractions. Bird's eye perspectives were not used for navigation, so they often include numerous artistic flourishes and bear a distinctive aesthetic and unique style that immediately transports the viewer back in time.
