    "Captain Thomas Hutchins, United States geographer, who in 1784 had worked on Pennsylvania's southern border for the State of Pennsylvania, and had expressed a desire to work on its western border, was advised by Congress not to become involved in any additional state projects as they would soon be needing his services. The Land Ordinance was ratified May 20, 1785; so, the blueprint to develop the Northwest Territory was now a law. It was placed into Hutchins' experienced hands for implementation, and he immediately set the wheels in motion." - This was under the supervision of Thomas Jefferson.
