The waymarked coordinates are for a handsome "life compass" compass rose which anchors a nice plaza at the Meriwether Lewis National Monument Visitor Center along the Natchez Trace at Hohenwald TN.
The center of the rose features a cut-style silhouette of Lewis, a popular form of portraiture in the early 1800s. Around the silhouette is this repeated phrase: "Meriwether Lewis: Exploring America"
Long ray-like arms point to the cardinal directions of N, E, S, and W, with shorter arms indicating the intermediate points. Between the appropriate directional arms, the place and distance to that spot relevant to the life of Meriwether Lewis are indicated.
