Maps

Harpers Ferry Center has posted the map which they produced for our new brochure published in 2003. It depicts the route Lewis and Clark took to the Pacific Ocean. If you would like to order a brochure send an e-mail. If you would like to look at the digital map files please visit Harpers Ferry Center at www.nps.gov/hfc/cart/index.htm. An agreement for legal responsibility is required before entering the web map section. Once at the maps you may choose Lewis & Clark NHT in the Nebraska state section or in the Park Alphabetical Listing. They have an Adobe *.PDF file, and Adobe Illustrator 10 file which has been compressed. They also have a very basic map of the Louisiana Purchase.
