State Physical Map with watersheds and Indigenous-homelands overlay (CONCRETE EXAMPLE: California). 22-inch wall map. Layer 1: physical features - coast, mountain ranges (Sierra Nevada, Coast Range, Klamath, Cascades, Transverse Range, Peninsular Range), Central Valley, deserts (Mojave, Colorado, Great Basin), major rivers (Sacramento, San Joaquin, Klamath, Colorado, Russian), major lakes (Tahoe, Salton Sea, Mono Lake), Pacific Ocean. Layer 2 (translucent overlay): contemporary tribal lands of 6 federally recognized California tribes (with cultural-office permission - examples: Yurok Reservation, Hupa Reservation, Pala Band of Mission Indians, Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, Agua Caliente Cahuilla, Tule River Yokuts). Layer 3 (label cluster): 10 major cities including state capital (Sacramento), with population indicators. Layer 4: latitude/longitude grid 32-42 N x 114-124 W. Scale bar, north arrow, color-coded legend. Style: matte mapping aesthetic, high-contrast for vision accessibility. LOCALIZE: substitute state map with state-specific watersheds and tribal-lands overlay.
