Welcome to the Southwest Explorations website!

Did you ever wonder what the scenes described by early explorers of the west really looked like?  When you see an old illustration do you wonder what that place looks like today?  Come and see the west along with a few of the earliest American explorers as we follow their trails through their own pictures and narratives.

The expanded broadband version of this site has additional useful sections:

  • Notes & Papers  (a collection of reports about trails, trips, and places)

  • Mapping  (information and examples of maps I've made about historic trails)
