"Perhaps no map produced by an American exploring expedition was more influential than this one. Based on a large map kept by William Clark in his St. Louis office, the engraved copy accompanied Nicholas Biddle's History of the Expedition under the Command of Captains Lewis and Clark (1814), the first official account of the expedition....the 1814 Track Map held on to old illusions while at the same time proclaiming new geographic discoveries....The recognition of distinct western regions begins with this map....as an act of political imagination, the map advanced an American imperial agenda--one that acknowledged an Indian presence while ignoring Spanish and British claims in the West. This map is Manifest Destiny visualized."
