Several years before Lewis and Clark's journey new timekeeping machine was invented called the chronometer. This new invention made it easy for them to map the land as they traveled.
The dates on the map of the Lewis and Clark expedition represent their progress and location as they journeyed westward from 1804 to 1806. These dates mark significant milestones and key points of exploration during their historic expedition across the western United States.
The maps on the Lewis and Clark expedition were primarily drawn by William Clark, who was the expedition's co-leader and a skilled cartographer. Clark meticulously mapped the terrain, waterways, and Native American tribes encountered during the expedition, providing valuable information for future explorers and settlers.
Yes, Lewis and Clark's expedition led to the accurate mapping of much of the new territory, especially the western part of the United States. Their detailed maps and observations helped to expand knowledge of the region's geography for future explorers and settlers.

Lewis and Clark stood on various vantage points, such as hills or high ground, to survey the land and map the territories they explored during their expedition. They used a combination of compass readings, celestial observations, and sketches to create their maps of the Western United States.

His role was chosen by Lewis to co-lead exploration "map guy"
what Lewis and clark wanted to accomplish was to map the entire Louisiana purchase
cartographer was the person who makes map
On the Lewis and Clark Expedition, it was William Clark who concentrated chiefly on the drawing of maps but both Lewis and Clark are credited for drawing about 140 maps during the journey. Inititially it was Lewis who spent time consulting maps and books and conferring with Thomas Jefferson at his library in Monticello before the expedition.
Lewis and Clark learned about doing maps and make detail on the map
President Jefferson needed Lewis and Clark to map the Louisiana Territory and to explore it.
This expedition was able to show them the route and the map of the territory, where and what everything is.

They didn't. Historians and map makers do this so you will be able to tell the routes apart.
I assume you're referring to the Lewis & Clark duo? Lewis owned the map and (at that time) the only compass in the United States. Clark, the smarter of the two, could read the map. (The map was in Mayan, hard to decipher.)
Lewis and Clark used a sextant to determine their latitude by measuring the angle between the horizon and the sun or a star. This helped them navigate and map their route across uncharted territory during their expedition to the western United States.
