Arrowsmith’s 1802 Map of North America
The large blank areas on Arrowsmith’s 1802 map of North America show how little was known about the lands up the Missouri River Valley and across the Rocky Mountains. Explorers had probed the edges of the region, but Europeans had not yet penetrated the interior. Map courtesy of the Library of Congress.
