When Lewis and Clark had reached the Pacific Ocean after 18 grueling months, they wintered at Fort Clatsop before returning east to St. Louis in the spring of 1806. It took just over three weeks for the Expedition to build the fort, and it served as their camp from December 8, 1805 until their departure on March 23, 1806.

Lewis and Clark's quarters
Clark's desk. He spent the winter refining his maps.
Map compiled by Nicholas King including all the
known geographical feature of the West in 1803.
In 1810, Clark completed a master map of the West.
It is very similar to today's maps. The total distance
on Clark's map was only off by 40 miles when compared
to contemporary maps
