Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book charts the history of cartography in Missouri, from the first crude attempts by European explorers to the precise and detailed mapping of the present day. Spanning centuries of exploration and technological advancement, this fascinating account showcases the evolution of our understanding of Missouri's geography. The book begins by examining early maps that depict Missouri as an island and gradually traces the increasing accuracy of its representation as explorers ventured deeper into the region. It delves into the work of Lewis and Clark, Zebulon Pike, and other intrepid figures who played a pivotal role in mapping the vast expanse of the Louisiana Purchase. As the book progresses, it explores the impact of land surveys, boundary disputes, and the establishment of the state of Missouri on the development of cartography. It also highlights the contributions of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Mississippi River Commission, and the U.S. Geological Survey in creating increasingly sophisticated and accurate maps of Missouri. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive and engaging account of the evolution of cartography in Missouri, shedding light on the explorers, surveyors, and scientists who have shaped our understanding of this region. It is a valuable resource for historians, geographers, and anyone interested in the history of exploration and mapmaking.
