Map circa 2050

I have not been able to copy the maps included in the El Centro de la Raza curriculum at UNM so I'll just describe them.

This one has a line indicating "Line of dense Hispanic population in U.S. states or territories." This line starts at Houston and goes to Sacramento including Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and California. It has cities circled and colored in with numbers in the circles. The legend for these circles states, "Mexican states, or areas under effective control, including territories." The legend for the numbers indicate that .1 indicates an American city with 100,000 or more Hispanics and 1 indicates an American city with 1,000,000 or more. Odessa has a .1 in its circle. San Antonio has a 1.5. Houston has a 2. LA has a 10.0. San Diego has a 3.0. San Francisco has a 2.4.
