It focuses on locations of various types in a spatial order that starts the reader to move in a certain direction from one place to another.

Men settled down to plant crops, especially maize, in Peru, Central America, and the eastern U.S. again during the same period. But from the earliest archaeological evidence of men in America, we know that they ranged over the entire hemisphere, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.
