About this listen

Griffin Rowe explores how four rival 1860s-70s expeditions—led by Hayden, Wheeler, King, and Powell—transformed America's unmapped West through systematic measurement. From Arrowsmith's honest blank spaces to Yellowstone's preservation, this episode reveals how precision replaced conjecture and competitive bureaucracy produced the accurate maps that defined a nation.
