Scott #858 was one of nine stamps for which US President Franklin D. Roosevelt drew the designs.
It honored the 50th anniversary of the addition of four states.
In November of 1889, four states were admitted to the Union North Dakota & South Dakota on November 2nd, Montana on November 8th, and Washington on November 11th.
Three of the four states shown on #858 border Canada.
The US Canadian border curves at that point.
Roosevelt always a stickler for detail correctly sketched the design showing that curve.
The design made the states resemble laundry hanging on a wash line, leading to the stamp's nickname of the "clothesline stamp."
