Hard covered book titled HISTORICAL ATLAS OF THE AMERICAN WEST by Warren Beck & Ynez Haase. 1989, with dust jacket. ISBN: 0806121939

In this book, a historian and a geographer tells the story of the region from a comprehensive geographical perspective. Defining the American West as the 17 contiguous states from the 100th meridian westward, they provide 78 maps, each with explanatory text and a selective bibliography of further readings. They also present the history of the West from prehistoric times to the present. The physical characteristics of the region - its natural resources and geographic features, climatic zones, agricultural regions, mineral resources, and native flora and fauna- are presented, along with special maps stressing the impact of natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and the eruption of Mount St. Helens.

Several maps provide unique views of Western Indians from ancient times to the latter part of the nineteenth century, including maps devoted to the tragedy at Wounded Knee, the Ghost Dance Religion, and Indian judicial districts.
