The small plaza at Columbia Park, which features Sacajawea's statue, also has several interpretive signs and a full map of the 1805 USA and surrounding territories spread across the floor. Top left, the Oregon Country, important to the Corps of Discovery. The three images, above, and right are looking north from Bateman island (see page 259i for map). On October 17, 1805, Clark and two Corps members paddled up the Columbia River. They came within a few miles of this spot.
