- Abstract:
This topographic relief map of the conterminous United States provides geographic context by showing the expedition's entire route. The map was created by processing digital elevation model (DEM) data from The National Map. Differences in elevation on the map are shown in a range of colors, from dark green for low elevations to white for high elevations. The map conveys a sense of the vast and increasingly rugged terrain Lewis and Clark encountered on their journey.
