When
Washington
Territory
was
created
out
of the
Oregon
Territory
in
1853
,
newly
appointed
Governor
Isaac
Stevens
immediately
pushed
for the
surveying
of a
route
over
which
a
transcontinental
railway
could
be
run
. To this
end
, he
asked
for and
got
several
teams
of
government
surveyors
who
proceeded
to
begin
charting
passes
and
routes
across
the
Washington
Territory
. As the
best
routes
were
eventually
chosen
, the
survey
of the
specific
route
began
in
1858
. The
Mullan
road
(named
for
John
Mullan
, the
primary
surveyor
of the
route
and the
man
subsequently
placed
in
charge
of the
road's
construction)
, a
permanent
wagon
road
from the
Mississippi
River
to the
Puget
Sound
, was
constructed
in
1859-1860
. In
1861
and
1862
, an
improved
road
was
constructed
and
slightly
rerouted
.
When
the
Northern
Pacific
Railroad
was
built
approximately
a
quarter
century
later
,
it
followed
Mullan's
route
very
closely
.
