Lewis and clark’s expedition with the spanish maps

Missouri and Spanish maps

Mapa del Río Missouri
Missouri River Map

As a result of this Spanish exploration, maps were made that would be used in the subsequent preparation of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

It was the first expedition and carried out already in the year 1795, 10 years before

Most of the journey of Lewis and Clark’s trip to the Pacific, had the collaboration and Spanish maps. The U.S Expedition was based on these maps. More than 2/3 of the route was done with the help of maps made by the Spanish

The Spanish explored the area

The information that was collected and the data were reflected in maps that were of great help to the later Lewis and Clark expedition based on the previous Spanish expeditions.

Lewis and Clark, took the experience and the maps made by other Spanish expeditions. The Spanish Manuel Lisa collaborated for 2 years in its previous preparation.

Until 1803 Louisiana was a territory controlled by Spain. As early as 1795, a Spanish expedition visited most of the Missouri River route, reaching North Dakota. This expedition drew maps of the Missouri later used by the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

They made accurate maps

The Spanish expedition led by Evans, drew such precise maps that the later Lewis and Clark expedition could only complete it with minor tributaries.

Tour the states of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana

The Rio Missouri river that was not explored in detail by the Spanish until the year 1795. But with this exploration they laid the foundations and provided information about the Indian tribes. These maps would allow the Lewis and Clark expedition to continue exploration to the Pacific.

Manuel Lisa explorer and merchant

A born entrepreneur, this Spaniard had already been born in St. Louis, Missouri. His knowledge of the area was essential. He supported the Lewis and Clark expedition, and advised them during the two years of its preparation.
