Description
Missouri is truly in the middle of it all. The state’s place at the confluence of the Missouri and the Mississippi Rivers attracted Native Americans, French and Spanish fur traders, and American pioneers and settlers. Missouri became a nexus for travelers from the east, and the gateway to places further west, while at the same time 14 of the Western US states were carved from Missouri Territory. In the digital age, maps are just as important in the past. They not only helped you navigate the world, but they also guided future plans and dreams.
