Classroom Reading: MappingThomas Jefferson and his supporters wanted to learn more about this new land. One of the chief purposes of the Corps of Discovery expedition was to map the new Northwest territory, to fill in the empty spaces on the maps of the time.Although it was Lewis who received Jefferson's instructions, it was ultimately William Clark who did most of the actual surveying and mapmaking during and after the expedition.Jefferson wrote his set of instructions before the U.S. had actually taken possession of Louisiana. However, it's evident from what he wrote that Jefferson was thinking ahead. He told Lewis to collect information that would add to the nation's strategic and military knowledge and that would help assess the economic value of the new territory.
