**Further information:** Lines and squiggles have associations with the desert Southwest. Native Americans did some farming but many tribes were also seasonally semi-nomadic for hunting, harvesting, and climate purposes. When Americans from the East entered the terrain, there were two prominent groups: cattlemen who let their animals wander and graze and farmers along with town folk who divided property more akin to a grid system. Many of the tensions in the West had to do with expectations of being able to wander versus expectations of grid-like farming and property settlement. You might think too of the lines and squiggles of the Southwest from straight lined state boundaries and highways to wandering lines of geographic terrain. | **Further information:** Lines and squiggles have associations with the desert Southwest.
