I've flagged "Wilson resigned from the USGS on September 30, 1881, in order to become chief topographer for the Northern Transcontinental Survey, (...) to map the sprawling areas of Washington, Idaho, and Montana" with links to the state pages. The three states were formed in 1889 and 1890. I guess we could make that clear somehow here.--ospalh (talk) 10:12, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
