Description - Lewis and Clark: The Maps of Exploration 1507-1814 by The University of Virginia Library

In competition for a mostly unclaimed continent, Spanish, English, Dutch, French and Portuguese explorers guarded their maps as state secrets, as knowledge of the landscape was the key to acquisition. Though technically innacurate and incomplete, the early maps reveal active imaginations.
