The act directed the Secretary of War Jefferson Davis to plan and direct Army topographical engineers to conduct surveys of four routes. The first was between the 47th and 49th parallels generally along the Lewis and Clark route to the Pacific. The Second route between the 37th and 39th parallels was promoted by Senator Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri. The Third route was along the 35th parallel. The Fourth route was promoted by Secretary Davis along the 32nd parallel that followed Emory's 1846-47 reconnaissance.<br /> <br /> The illustration "Awaiting the Return of Mr. Tinkham" was done to support part of the report narrative by Stevens starting on p. 127 of the report.
