AR120-73. I'm not sure what to name it, but my biggest ideas are New Castelle, (for the northern area) Uintah (for the forested mountains along the border and through the middle), and Crimson Plateau (For the red Rock country throughout the South). Let me know if you have any better ideas.

Virtually the entirety of the place is steppe, except for the mountains scattered throughout, which are alpine. There is a mountain range along the east border, another one along the southwest, and one cutting through the middle, east-west, with smaller ranges around. The rocks are almost entirely red sandstone and related, similar to the Colorado plateau. My Sketch:[1]

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
Most settlements are along the coast and the feet of the mountains. The northern settlements are Spanish in origin, while the southern ones are English and German. There are numerous eastern-European mining towns, however. I'm thinking I'll probably divide it into a Tennessee-Grand-Divisions-esqe system for the North Steppe, the Mountains, and the Red Rocks in the South.

| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
Historically, the first non-Indian settlement was along the north coast. The Castellans created a series of missions near the coast, but never ventured inland due to the aridity. The first inland settlements were created by Archantians who moved north to try to avoid southern politics.

I am currently working on the town of Granger
