By using measurements and notes in William Clark's journals, Plamondon has created maps depicting the Corps of Discovery's route on the Missouri River from Illinois to North Dakota in 1804. The maps compare the modern beds of streams to their courses at the time of exploration. Of further interest are excerpts from the expedition diaries and an insightful essay on frontier surveying.

Beginning a short distance above Fort Mandan, 180 maps depict the explorers' route in 1805-6 on the Missouri River in North Dakota and Montana, over the continental divide to Idaho, and on westward-flowing waters to the Snake-Columbia confluence in central Washington. As in Volume I, the maps contrast modern riverbeds to their courses at the time of exploration.
