    "description": "Baron Alexander von Humboldt was a German geographer who visited the region in 1803 and researched unpublished cartographic resources and documents in the Mexican archives. The resulting map provided Europeans and Americans with the most comprehensive printed geography of Mexico to date, recognizing the names and lands of Native Americans living on the country’s northern frontier (today’s southwestern United States).",
