- Meriwether Lewis, August 12, 1805

Filling in the Blanks


The maps of North America carried by Lewis and Clark showed only a vast, uncharted space between the Mandan villages of the Missouri Rier and the Pacific Coast. The mountains separating the Missouri and Columbia river drainages were drawn as a single ridge. There was hope of finding a simple land route, or portage, over the Rocky Mountains. Map makers two hundred years ago did not know what the West was like.
The modern map above is just a small slice of the United States along the Lewis and Clark Trail. Imagine trying to find you way across this land without such a map. Lewis and Clark, and many others who follow after them, have filled in the blanks for us.
