The Connecticut Land Co proprietors invested $1,200,000 in the Western Reserve hoped that the lands would make them all rich. In order to do that, they needed to divide the Western Reserve’s 3 million acres into smaller lots and sold those at a profit to settlers. The Connecticut Land Company wanted potential settlers to view a map and feel the areas they want to buy was a suitable place surrounded by an efficient system of roads and agricultural lands. Therefore, they used surveys and maps of Cleveland as a marketing tool to attract buyers. The Connecticut Land Co. also had to guarantee that the settlers’ investments would be protected if problems arise.…
In the two articles, “Into the Unknown” and “Lewis and Clark Revisited” by World Almanac have many similarities and differences. For example, these two article are similar because they both were along the Mississippi River. In addition, even though the reenactment was not shot in the exact location, the sites still looked identical. While there are some similarities, there are also many differences. For example, in “into the unknown” they traveled in a boat with oars while crossing waterways where in the reenactment they used a boat with a motor. Also, the first explorers covered themselves in bear grease to protect themselves from mosquitoes where in the reenactment they used rush pills. Finally, explorers first camped in camp wood Illinois…
We just got back from 2 year 4 month trip from Louisiana Territory. It began in St. Louis. We traveled to the Pacific Ocean and back to St. Louis. Louis needed to find a map and a water route across Northern America from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean .…

On the incredible journey of Lewis and Clark many new animals were discovered. Maryweather Lewis was naturalist and explorer. He documented 11 birds, 11 mammals and 2 fish that were unknown to naturalists. He actually brought his trusty dog, Seaman along for the journey. Seaman was a 150 pound, big, black Newfoundland dog. He was very intelligent and was bought in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania for $20. What cost $20.00 in 1800 would cost $260.40 now; today $260 is the average you would pay for a Newfoundland puppy. Seaman helped the crew find new animals, sometimes he would have to protect them for bears or coyote's.…
At a glance, this seemed like nothing more than a regular map. But, upon closer inspection, this map was revealed to perhaps hide secrets. In 2012, a nonprofit organization called the First Colony Foundation requested that the British Museum reexamined two small patches on the map. Using patches to cover mistakes or damage was a common technique in 16th century map making, because maps took so much time and effort to make that starting over wasn’t an option. Using x-ray spectroscopy, infrared light, and other imagery techniques, the British Museum was able to discover that the patch was covering up a four-pointed star outlined in blue and filled in with red.…
The journals kept by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark during their expedition were an extremely important part of the United States of America’s history specifically in the scientific field. Lewis and Clark explored North America to discover many new things in nature, find new possible trade routes, see potential threats to westward expansion, look at the possibility to invent new natural resources, and the list goes on and on. They also worked together with people of vast races and/or backgrounds which only increased their interest with the West. They were tremendously essential to this nation’s history because they were the first white men to undertake such a journey, make such a detailed map of their travels, and detail the wildlife…
Discovered by Spanish and French conquistadors in the 17th and 18th centuries and explored by famous pioneer/explorers Lewis and Clark in 1805, Oregon is the 33rd state to be admitted to the United States. Oregon received statehood on February 14, 1859. Lewis and Clark explored Oregon while on their journey to find the Northwest Passage. Lewis and Clark both described Oregon as a “beautiful woodland paradise”, with its diverse wildlife and flora. Oregon is located on the Pacific Coast, above California and below Washington. The location influences the mild winter climate and the rainy but warm weather. Oregon’s state tree is the Douglas Fir tree (Pseudotsuga menziesii), while their state flower is the Oregon Grape (Mahonia aquifolium). Oregon’s…

This is about twenty five miles south of Yuma to the Mexican boundary. All these lands are fertile and productive. They are all also capable of producing enormous crop yields when provided with a sufficient supply of water. In the years of 1858-59 were the most important. People would come permanently because of the discovery of gold on the Gila river.…
The two captains send scouting parties up each fork but the evidence collected by the men was not satisfactory. Thus, Lewis and Clark took it upon themselves to personally venture up each fork and record their own observations. Lewis departed up the right-hand fork, while Clark sailed down the left-hand fork. Lewis’s exploration was initially easier than Clark’s; the right fork was not as swift and therefore was more navigable. Lewis continued up the fork until he was confident that it would not be the desired path. The river turned too far north to make any substantial westward progress and the water showed no signs of becoming more characteristic of mountainous waters. Similarly, Clark continued his journey down the other fork until he was able to obtain enough directional information. Clark confidently concluded that the fork ran “west of South a long distance, and [had] a Strong rapid Current,” resulting in more difficult navigation due to snow which most likely came from the Rocky Mountains the Corps wished to reach (259). After sufficiently predicting the future path and characteristics of both forks, Lewis and Clark returned to the junction to share their findings. Lewis and…
From there it goes westwardly along the whole southern boundary of New Mexico. After that it goes northward, along the western line of New Mexico, until it intersects the first branch of the river Gila; (or if it should not intersect any branch of that river, then to the point on the said line nearest to such branch, and then in a direct line to the same). Then down the middle of the said branch and of the said river, until it empties into the Rio Colorado, following the division line between Upper and Lower California, to the Pacific Ocean”. Lillian also said“The boundary shall be free and common to the vessels and citizens of both countries.”…

Just like in Elizabeth Bishops poem, “The Map,” where she talks about how shapes and colors on the map aren’t really what we see in reality (213, 214). How one sees objects on a map is all in perspective, the same as how one might have seen the line back then before the Civil War. That line was capable of suggesting meanings or connections beyond itself. Where it’s not about actual geography but about refusing to standardize the images each person projects onto a place or…
