Lewis' and Clark's journals of the expedition describe the Natural Resources and native peoples of the West and contain information on many scientific matters. Over the two year journey, the expedition had made more discoveries of landscapes, rivers, native cultures, zoology, and botany of North America than any scientific expedition. Their results/contributions were many and lasting.

One of the most significant contributions of the Lewis and Clark Expedition was a better perception of the geography of the Northwest and the production of the first accurate maps of the area. During the journey, Lewis and Clark prepared approximately 140 maps.

A second achievement of the expedition was a better understanding of the country's natural resources. During the journey, they were able to find and categorize 122 new animals and 178 plants.

They brought back valuable scientific and geographic information.
