The Map of the Lewis
and Clark expedition shows the route taken by the famous
explorers on their outward journey across ten states
to the Pacific Ocean. The expedition began on May 14,
1804 when the Corps of Discovery left Camp Wood, Missouri
on their perilous, great journey west to the Pacific
Ocean.
The outward journey
(1804 - 1805) is indicated on the map by the straight
dotted line
The return journey home (1806) took the same route
During the return journey they Corps split into separate
parties in Montana to explore the Yellowstone and Marias
Rivers. They re-joined near the confluence of the Yellowstone
and Missouri Rivers and traveled the rest of the way
together, down the Missouri River all the way home to
St. Louis, Missouri.
