This watercolor is from a series of manuscript watercolor views along the northwest boundary between the Rocky Mountains and Point Roberts. The sketches were created by James W. Alden who accompanied the survey party that, during the 1860's and in compliance with the Treaty of 1846, was responsible for recording characteristics of the northwestern boundary of the United States.
This primary source comes from the Records of Boundary and Claims Commissions and Arbitrations.
