Additional Description: This detail from a map copied by Nicholas King in 1805 from an original map by William Clark shows the two "Charleton" [Chariton] Rivers. This map shows William Clark's odd spelling for the Chariton Rivers and also provides an insight into how well Clark comprehended the extent of the two Chariton river systems and their potential as an avenue of commerce with the Iowa Indian Tribe.
