The document is a family history map created by Steven Alvarez for a geography class. It traces the paths his mother's and father's families took to immigrate to the United States from Mexico. His mother's family entered through Tijuana from Guadalajara in the early 1970s and settled in San Diego and Los Angeles. His father's family entered through El Paso from Aguascalientes in the late 1970s and went directly to Santa Ana, where they stayed for 10 years before his parents moved to the Inland Empire in the early 1990s.
