Country Drained by the Mississippi, Western Section

Long & Carey & Lea Country Drained by the Mississippi

This uncolored version of the western portion of Long's manuscript map was also engraved by Young & Dellecker for Philadelphia publisher Carey & Lea and appeared in the account of expedition member Edwin James. It includes an elevation profile of the country between the Ozarks in the east and the Rockies in the West. Camp numbers along the various routes emphasize the map's connection with the narrative. The second or eastern portion of Long's map follows this one and displays the "Country drained by the Mississippi" and includes an inset of the new state of Louisiana. Its elevation profile ranges from "the tidewater of the Rapahannock" in the east to the Ozarks in the west.
