1. Here is a reminder about the task you are responsible for: * Create a detailed map of the Western Territory, including the trail followed by the explorers.
 * Be sure to include the geographic landforms and major bodies of water found there.
 * Indicate on your map, the places where the expedition stopped, or where major events happened.
 * Indicate where the Native American tribes were encountered along the way.
 * If known, show where major discoveries were found! ||


 * 2. You may want to make or use special paper to make your map more realistic. A brown paper grocery bag may work well, or you can create some "antique" looking paper to make your map on. Take white (or off-white) construction paper and roll it up in a ball to wrinkle it. (Use a 18x24 size or larger.) Do this several times, then smooth the paper out. To make it look older, paint both sides of the paper with strong tea or coffee. Let it hang to dry, or press it between two layers of paper towel. When it is dry, you can use a thin pen or marker to draw the map outline. Use color on your map to show different types of information! ||

3. Now begin your research! You will need to take notes as you navigate on the world wide web! Later, you will use these notes to create your map, as if you were a member of the Corps of Discovery!
