Volume 9 is the first of two Handbook volumes on the Southwest, the second to appear as Volume 10. The Southwest, as delineated by the Handbook editors, extends from the Colorado River on the west to the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles. It runs from the Four Corners area south to the northern part of Nayarit. From the Pacific Coast in Nayarit, the line of demarcation extends generally eastward to the Gulf of Mexico in southern Tamaulipas, and then along the Gulf Coast to Matagorda Bay, Texas. This southern boundary dips far enough to include all of the Mexican states of Sinaloa and Durango, most of Zacatecas and San Luis Potosí, and parts of Jalisco, with a finger southward into Guanajuato and a tiny part of Michoacán. It is a most generous conception of the Southwest.
