The objective best represented in the illustration is "gaining knowledge of the region's geography." Lewis and Clark's expedition aimed to explore and map the newly acquired territory, understand the landscape, and document geographical features. While they also interacted with Native Americans and sought other information, the primary focus of the expedition was on geographical exploration.
