western United States. This map is actually number two in a series of seven
maps which documented Fremont’s entire journey between Missouri and Oregon.
The title of the map series is: "Topographical Map of the Road from Missouri
to Oregon Commencing at the Mouth of the Kansas in the Missouri River and
Ending at the Mouth of the Wallah Wallah in the Columbia." This particular
map covers Fremont’s route between Grand Island Nebraska (on the right side
of the map) and area where the Platte River splits into northern and southern
forks (on the left). Fremont’s route is traced with a double line across
the map, and the countryside on either side of his route is drawn in considerable
detail. Geological formations and rivers are all carefully noted along the
way, as are the locations of every stop made by the expedition between June
25 and July 8, 1842. Locations of Indian villages and herds of buffalo are
marked as well. There are several paragraphs describing the countryside
and weather conditions in minute (sometimes quite flowery) detail. In the
bottom right corner of the map is a chart of meteorological observations
for each day. In the bottom left corner, there are a series of "Remarks"
pertaining to the water supplies, types of wood that could be used for fires,
game available for hunting, and Indians along the route. This map is a gold
