Atlas of the Week: Atlas of the Lewis & Clark Expedition

 

Lewish and Clark

Atlas of the Lewis & Clark Expedition

The Lewis and Clark Expedition was not only an expedition that explored uncharted territory but expanded American influence through contact with the Native Americas. This trip has as much to do with foreign policy as it does with exploration. The Atlas is filled with drawn maps of the regions that were explored including their rivers and mountains. In addition, the native populations that were encountered are mentioned on the map showing just how important this trip was for American foreign policy.
