These two maps cover the region from British Columbia south to Texas. The first map shows the Kiowas migration from the Black Hills area of South Dakota to their settlement in Eastern Colorado, Southern Kansas, and the panhandle of Oklahoma. The map identifies pueblos, military posts and trading posts as well as the tracks of raids and trade routes. The second map shows the numerous Plains Indians tribes in vivid color. The strong relationships between the southern Plains Indians were instrumental in keeping Spanish colonists away from the area, who instead settled in Mexico south of the Rio Grande.
