Part of the "Making of America" series, this map of the Southwest represents Side Two in a two-map set. Published in November 1982, its focus is on the enchanting states of Arizona and New Mexico and the surrounding region. Multiple maps illustrate the fluctuations of the region's occupants and their imprint on the land. This map accompanied four articles on the Southwest including "The Anasazi - Riddles in the Ruins." The 1982 Southwest map Side 2 features:
• A historical overview of the region
• Three small maps showing early Indian occupancy in the region from A.D. 600-1450 and a larger map of the tribal groups in the 1600s
• A map of the Spanish conquest showing explorers' routes, Spanish settlements, Pueblo Indian settlements, missions, and more
• A map and information on the Anglo-American entry and occupancy showing early Indian reservations, sheep and cattle ranges, mining areas, railroads, Mormon settlements, and more
