In 1528, the Spanish explorer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca and his
three companions were shipwrecked and, looking for help, began an
eight-year trek through the deserts of the American West. Over
three centuries later, the four "Great Surveys" in the United
States were consolidated into the U.S. Geological Survey. The
frontiers were the lands near or beyond the recognized
international, national, regional, or tribal borders. Over the
centuries, they hosted a complicated series of international
explorations of lands inhabited by American Indians, Spanish,
French-Canadians, British, and Americans. These explorations were
undertaken for wide-ranging reasons including geographical,
scientific, artistic-literary, and for the growth of the railroad.
This history covers over 350 years of exploration of the West.
