Description

Copied from Clark's original drawing, this map traces the route taken by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's expedition to traverse the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase. The Missouri River system is depicted in great detail. Salt springs, saltworks, army camps, forts, springs, Native American nations and villages (including population), ancient fortifications, and other annotations are shown along their route. Specific details of their journey are noted including Fort Mandan, their wintering post in 1804-05, Floyd's grave, Pompey's Tower, "where Gen. Clark made canoes," where they found the first Argalia [bighorn sheep], Fort Clatsop near the mouth of the Columbia River, travellers' rests, and observation points.
